Portree (Highland) weather

Headline:

Rain in the north mostly dying out, mainly dry elsewhere.

Today:

Overnight rain across the north mostly clearing this morning although some patchy rain lingering this afternoon. Mainly dry although rather cloudy elsewhere with the odd shower. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Tonight:

Clear periods and a few showers this evening. Showery rain will spread into the south and west in the early hours. Patchy fog and frost developing where skies become clear. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Tuesday:

A rather cloudy day with scattered showers, some longer spells of rain at times in the west. Fresh westerly winds across the Western Isles later. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Brighter with fewer showers on Wednesday, Western Isles may be windy. Chance of some rain in the east on Thursday, otherwise dry. Windy and cold with showers on Friday.

Remaining unsettled to start the period as an area of low pressure clears into the North Sea. Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, and strong winds will likely ease through Friday as the low continues to move eastwards. This will leave a colder northerly flow for a time at the weekend which will be showery around the coasts but with sunny spells inland. Into the following week, conditions are expected to be changeable with showers or longer spells of rain across many parts of the UK. The cold northerly will likely give way to a more changeable westerly pattern and the wettest weather will probably be in parts of the north and west. Temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly below normal for the time of year.

Changeable and unsettled with weather systems spreading from the west. These will bring spells of rain, heavy at times, and some strong winds, interspersed with drier, brighter, and less windy periods between systems. The heaviest rain will probably be across northern areas at first, migrating to western areas later. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal or perhaps slightly above.
