Geisiadar (Na h-Eileanan Siar) weather

Headline:

Warm and bright much of Saturday. Rain later in southeast.

This Evening and Tonight:

Isolated heavy showers over the mainland dying out with some late sunshine and some clear spells tonight. There will be a chance of some low cloud and mist over the Hebrides at times. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Saturday:

Bright with some warm sunny intervals. A mostly dry day with a few showers, but cloud increases through the afternoon with outbreaks of rain spreading into the south and east. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

An unsettled few days with some heavy thundery showers at times, and some torrential downpours possible with localised flooding. Some bright or sunny spells too and remaining warm and humid.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Wednesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly or north-westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to be close to or a little above average for most of the period. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through into the start of August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. However there are signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely as we progress further into the month. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing period, especially further south and east.
