The Gleneagles Hotel (Perth and Kinross) weather

Headline:

Bright, cold start Saturday. Cloud, rain, very strong winds later.

This Evening and Tonight:

A few showers, wintry on the hills, continue through the evening before clearing from the east by midnight. This will leave the rest of the night dry and cold with clear periods. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Saturday:

Dry and bright but chilly start, becoming cloudy from the morning with outbreaks of heavy rain and hill snow from late morning. The wind will strengthen towards the evening. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Heavy rain, hill snow and gales or severe gales clear early Sunday morning, leaving a few showers. Mostly dry but cloudy Monday and Tuesday with showers in west late Tuesday.

Rather changeable conditions are expected through this period, as Atlantic frontal systems track eastwards across the UK, accompanied by some strong winds at times. These will bring occasional spells of rain or showers, heaviest and most frequent in the west and northwest, with longer drier interludes likely in the south and sheltered eastern areas. Whilst temperatures will be close to average for the period as a whole, there may be opportunities for some short-lived warm spells in the south and east. Conversely, occasional colder interludes in the northwest will bring the chance of some wintry showers, especially to hills, and overnight frost.

It is probable that more blocked, or at least slowly evolving, weather patterns will become increasingly dominant through the middle of the month. Whilst confidence is low, this may result in more settled and drier conditions overall. There may, however, still be some more unsettled interludes at times, especially in the south and southwest. Temperatures will probably be around or a little above normal for the period as a whole, and its possible we may see some pleasantly warm spring weather at times.
