Glenshee Ski Centre Medium Level (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Dry with bright or sunny spells, breezy along the coasts.

Today:

Sunday will stay dry, mostly cloudy in the south and over the east coast with sunny periods elsewhere. South to southeast winds will freshen at times along the coasts. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Tonight:

Another dry night with clear spells, this together with light winds inland will lead to a frost in sheltered glens. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Monday:

A dry day with bright or sunny periods and light winds spreading to the coasts. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Dry but cloudy Tuesday. A band of rain or drizzle will push north from early Wednesday becoming widespread for a time Wednesday night then dry with bright spells Thursday.

A transition to a rather more changeable and at times unsettled weather pattern is likely to occur during the first few days of this period. Outbreaks of rain and freshening winds will probably make inroads from the southwest during Thursday ahead of conditions more widely becoming wetter and windier by the weekend. A return to periods of rain followed by showers, often accompanied by strong winds looks likely for the rest of the month, with the potential for weather warnings or even a named storm at some point before the month is out. Temperatures at least should recover in most places, ending up near average or even a little above, though admittedly not feeling like it at times.

The start of February is likely to continue on an unsettled and relatively mild theme, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating in most parts with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. Pressure may build across southern areas towards mid-month, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost.
