Edinburgh (Edinburgh) weather

Headline:

Dry, sunny. West warm, but some haar around east coasts.

Today:

Dry with sunshine quite widespread, but some misty haar conditions initially around east coasts and in Central Belt. Best highs in seasonally very warm Dumfries and Galloway, but only the mid-teens on the east coast. Winds light northeasterly. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Tonight:

Cloud increasing across eastern and central areas, bringing some patchy light drizzle in places. Remaining dry in Dumfries and Galloway with late sunshine then overnight clear spells. Winds light northeasterly. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Wednesday:

A cloudy start for most with the chance of some patchy drizzle developing. Soon clearing as dry, sunny fair feeds from the west. Light winds. Warm in the far west. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

The settled weather will hold with parts west of the M74 seeing the best of the prolonged sunshine and warmest afternoon highs. Winds light north to northeast.

Dry, fine, and largely sunny conditions are expected to continue for the vast majority as a slow moving area of high pressure remains dominant. The weather will continue to be warm or very warm, especially in the west, but it will likely be cooler in the east as some coastal areas see more persistent low cloud at times, compared with previous days. There is an increasing chance that conditions will turn wetter and more unsettled through the mid- to latter-part of next week, possibly following a hotter spell, as areas of rain and strengthening winds threaten from the west and/or south (the latter bringing a risk of thunderstorms) This would most likely to be accompanied by temperatures dropping nearer to average for the time of year.

The start of the period may see some more in the way of rain and showers across, especially across western parts. Fine and dry weather is more likely to prevail towards the south and east and may start to develop more widely, but occasional spells of rain and showers are still possible, with potential for thunderstorms on some days. Overall, temperatures will most likely be around or above normal for the time of year.
