Glenbrittle Youth Hostel (Highland) weather

Headline:

Rain, sleet, hill snow, then brighter, wintry showers later Sunday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Overcast with periods of occasionally heavy rain through the evening, which turns patchy and occasionally wintry to low levels overnight, as fresh to strong northerly winds develop. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Sunday:

Cloud, rain, sleet and hill snow initially, erratically clearing as sunshine and wintry showers follow from northwest through the day, with outbreaks focused over western areas. Much colder than Saturday. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Showers throughout across most areas, but always drier and brighter towards the southern end of the great Glen. Temperatures seasonally low given the generally northerly winds.

A changeable pattern is likely to continue, with areas of rain or showers affecting parts of the UK, particularly across the south and west. These will be interspersed with drier, colder interludes as shorter-lived ridges of high pressure develop. Weather patterns may become slower evolving during the latter stages of November, leading to some uncertainty over how much progress Atlantic frontal systems will make into the UK. Nonetheless, further rain or showers are likely at times, with the potential for some periods of strong winds. Incursions of milder air are likely towards the south, although it could remain on the cold side overall further north, where there is potential for overnight frosts and occasional wintry precipitation, particularly over higher ground.

The tracks of low pressure may shift farther south over the North Atlantic into December, as high pressure potentially builds between Scandinavia and Greenland. Whilst there remains some uncertainty over which of these features will have the greater influence on the weather in the UK, some rain is likely at times, particularly across southern areas, whilst northern and especially northwestern parts may become drier than normal. Milder incursions are possible in the south, although this pattern would also bring an increased chance of colder conditions developing, particularly in the north, along with associated winter hazards such as snow and ice.
