Dumfries, Galloway, Lothian & Borders weather forecast

Headline:

Cold tonight. Occasional rain spreading north in the afternoon.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers, some heavy, will clear from the west during the evening. This will leave the night dry with increasing clear spells, these leading to frost patches towards morning. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Tuesday:

The morning will begin dry with sunny spells and a patchy frost. Cloud will spread northeast during the morning. Outbreaks of rain, some heavy, spread northeast later. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Bands of rain push northeast with showers, some heavy and thundery, following Wednesday. These showers continue Thursday morning. A further rain band pushes northeast Friday, showers follow later.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC+1) on Mon 13 Apr 2026

UK long range weather forecast

A few showers around at the start of the period, mainly affecting the northwest where it will also be windy for a time. For many though the weekend should be fine and dry with spells of warm sunshine, but still some chilly nights. Into the following week fronts associated with another Atlantic low will try to push into the UK, but may struggle to make inroads against an area of high pressure to the northeast. So the greater chance of some rain is for western areas, while northern and eastern areas may well see plenty of dry weather. Temperatures likely remaining above average.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC+1) on Mon 13 Apr 2026

The dominant pattern during this period is most likely to be high pressure (or higher than average pressure) to the north and lower pressure to the south. This will probably lead to drier and more settled than normal weather in the north or northwest of the UK, with the south and possibly east more unsettled and wetter than normal. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall.
