Largoward (Fife) weather

Headline:

Dry with increasing spells of sunshine. Very warm.

Today:

A dry day. Rather cloudy at first in parts of the west but generally broken cloud allowing increasing spells of sunshine as the day goes on. Becoming very warm, even hot inland, but a tempering breeze on the east coast. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Tonight:

A dry evening with some sunshine. The night will then stay dry with long clear periods, perhaps the odd mist or fog patch around dawn. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Thursday:

It will be another fine dry day with plenty of sunshine though high cloud may turn the sunshine hazy later. Very warm with some cooling sea breezes. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Bright and warm on Friday, chance of showers in north. Saturday cloudy and cooler, then becoming bright with some sunshine on Sunday.

Southern areas are likely to start this period very warm, locally hot in the southwest, with heatwave conditions persisting. Somewhat cooler to the north and cloudy with periods of rain and drizzle in the far north. Into the following week, high pressure is likely to build to the north or northwest of the UK, though its exact orientation is rather more uncertain. This would bring a lot of dry weather for many areas, though perhaps an increased chance, relatively to previous days, of showers or thunderstorms in the south. Temperatures probably moderating a little, though remaining above average for many areas.

High pressure is more likely than low pressure for much of July, probably bringing settled and drier conditions. Occasionally this dry and warm weather could be interrupted by outbreaks of rain and stronger winds, which will be more probable in the north or west. As is typical for the time of year, there is a risk of heavy, thundery showers during any warm spells. The signal for predominantly settled weather becomes increasingly unclear towards the end of July. This means unsettled interruptions may become more common, but confidence at this range is low. In any case, temperatures are likely to be above average overall, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times, especially in the south.
