Blackhouse Heights (Scottish Borders) weather

Headline:

Cloudy with some light rain in west on Thursday.

Today:

It will be a largely dry and cloudy day, however some light rain possible for western areas of Dumfries and Galloway. Elsewhere will see some bright interludes possibly breaking through the cloud. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Cloudy evening with outbreaks of rain, mainly in the west. Cloudy overnight as heavy rain starts to spread eastwards over the area. Winds strengthening in west later in the night. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Friday:

Cloudy with heavy rain spreading and clearing eastwards through the morning. This leaves the afternoon mostly cloudy, with some bright intervals, and showers, sometimes heavy. Windy with blustery showers. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

A band of rain will move east early on Saturday followed by blustery showers, these continuing through Sunday and Monday. However, still some dry spells with occasional brightness.

Quite changeable as Atlantic frontal systems track near or across the UK at times, bringing spells of rain or showers, typically heaviest and most frequent over western areas, but interspersed with drier interludes. Some spells of strong winds will be possible at times too, again more especially in western parts. With a flow generally from the North Atlantic, temperatures will likely be near or above average for much of this period, though a trend towards something a little cooler is possible for a time around the change of the month. Later in the period there may be a trend towards slightly drier conditions in the southeast, whilst it remains wet times in the northwest, but confidence in this aspect is rather low.

Confidence is rather low through this period with regards to the weather patterns affecting the UK. The most likely outcome is a continuation of rather changeable conditions, with low pressure systems tending to pass close to or across the UK, bringing occasional spells of wet and windy weather, especially in the north and west. High pressure to the south may build across the UK at times to bring some drier, quieter interludes, this probably most frequent in the south and east. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above average for the period as a whole, though some relatively short-lived interludes of colder conditions remain possible.
