An Sgarsoch (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Dry and warm with sunny spells.

Today:

After some early areas of cloud clear away it will be a dry and bright day with good spells of sunshine. Sunshine turning hazier in the afternoon. Warmer than recently. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Dry and sunny at first, but turning cloudier through the evening. Staying dry and often cloudy overnight, but some clearer spells developing over southern Aberdeenshire and northern Angus. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Wednesday:

Cloudy over northern Aberdeenshire to start, but this clearing away in the morning. Otherwise dry and warm with bright or sunny spells. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Ridge of high pressure will bring mostly dry and settled weather with sunny spells. Becoming very warm or hot with mostly light winds. Perhaps some east coast haar later Saturday.

Settled at first, with very warm or hot weather quite widely across the UK. There is a small chance of a few thunderstorms, but most areas will likely be dry. Early next week, a transition to less hot conditions is expected, but with uncertain timing. This could bring an increasing chance of some rain or showers, perhaps thundery, but there is scope for very warm or hot conditions to persist in more eastern and southern areas. Beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, but interspersed with drier interludes. Whilst a downward trend in temperature is anticipated, it will still likely be warmer than average, especially in the south and east where hot spells remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
