Ben Challum (Stirling) weather

Headline:

Rain spreading east in morning, mostly dry evening.

Today:

A mostly dry start with some bright spells. Rain spreads in from the west through the morning, occasionally heavy. Staying drier in the east. Brighter spells developing in the west towards evening as the rain clears east. Breezy. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight:

Any remaining cloud and rain soon clearing east. Otherwise largely dry with clear spells through the night, but the odd shower feeding in from the west. Occasionally blustery southwest winds. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Friday:

It will be largely dry with bright or sunny spells, though with the chance of the odd shower. Cloudier evening with some patchy rain. A bit cooler than recent days. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Quite cloudy Saturday morning with some rain, drier and brighter later. Cloudy, fresh southerly winds, and occasional outbreaks of rain on Sunday and Monday.

This period will start with cloud, rain and strong winds affecting northern and western parts of the UK on Monday. The cloud and rain is expected to ease and clear to the southeast during Tuesday as high pressure builds in from the west. There is now a signal for high pressure to be largely dominant through the rest of this period. This will mean many places seeing plenty of dry weather with variable cloud amounts and some sunshine, but perhaps with some fog overnight. Frontal systems may still graze the north and west of the UK at times though, maybe also briefly affecting other parts. Temperatures will be near or above normal, although patchy overnight frost is still likely at times.

After a potentially mainly dry and settled start to this period, changeable conditions look likely to resume, with Atlantic frontal systems spreading across the UK at times. These will bring spells of rain and perhaps strong winds, with the wettest conditions likely to be in the northwest, whilst the southeast will likely be driest. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above normal overall. It is possible that longer spells of dry weather develop again later in the month as a more blocked pattern could develop, which could lead to some colder conditions too, but confidence is very low by this stage.
