Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden No 2 (Edinburgh) weather

Headline:

Early rain clears, leaving the afternoon dry and bright Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

A largely dry evening and start to the night with patchy cloud and some lengthy clear spells. Outbreaks of rain will then spread southeast shortly before dawn. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Saturday:

Early morning rain will soon ease before clearing southeast late morning. Then a largely dry afternoon with sunny spells. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

A largely dry day on Sunday. Turning warmer on Monday and Tuesday with a chance of showers, perhaps a spell of more persistent rain in the west on Monday.

A changeable pattern across northwestern areas of the UK at first with spells of rain interspersed with drier interludes. Further southeast, predominantly fine, with a spell of hot weather breaking at the start of this period. Much of England could still see warm or very warm temperatures for at least a couple of days and there is a possibility that the heat could last further into the week, especially in the south, where there is also the possibility of some thunderstorms. Beyond this, probably a resumption of widely somewhat fresher conditions, with a lot of dry weather to be had in the south under the influence of high pressure. Meanwhile a rather more changeable and breezier theme will continue further to the north but it may become increasingly settled.

High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely at first. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for further hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south. By the turn of the month, there are signals for high pressure to become less dominant with perhaps a greater chance of some rain, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
