Sgurr An Doire Leathain (Highland) weather

Headline:

Dry, settled weather continuing, feeling warm Monday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud returning around eastern coastal areas during the evening, the west coast seeing a dry clear night. Coastal cloud pushing further west overnight with some drizzle. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Monday:

A cloudy start in the east but a bright and sunny start to the week for the west coast. Sunny conditions all day in the west. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

High pressure is expected to remain over the area but low cloud will start to affect the whole area with some drizzle at times. Best chance of brightness in west.

High pressure is likely to be the dominant feature at first bringing widely fine and dry weather whilst a generally northerly flow leads to rather cool conditions. This will be increasingly eroded from the west as frontal systems start to move in from the Atlantic through the weekend, leading to more changeable conditions. Whilst this is happening a deep area of low pressure is likely to develop in the North Atlantic, linked to Hurricane Erin. This likely progresses towards the UK through the early part of the week. The changeable period will likely continue through the last week of August, especially in the north and west, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing. The evolution of this is highly uncertain though.

Confidence in the details through this period is low. However, low pressure and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely. There will be the potential for periods of stronger winds at times as well. Whether this takes the form of further low pressure systems running in from the Atlantic, or a more slowly evolving weather pattern with the potential for heavy showers is less clear. Temperatures are likely be near to above average overall.
