Forfar No 3 (Angus) weather

Headline:

West seasonally warm or very warm. Dry with occasional sunshine.

Today:

Warm away from the coasts, with the Central Belt seasonally very warm. Southeast winds fresh around coasts, pegging back temperatures around the east coast. Staying dry with sunny spells which turn hazy during the afternoon as higher cloud increases. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Cloud thickening to bring occasional rain, this focused across western areas of Central and Tayside, with little expected to penetrate to the coast. Southerly coastal winds initially fresh. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Wednesday:

Coastal districts milder than today. Elsewhere significantly cooler. Rather cloudy morning with some patchy rain, mostly confined across the far west. Mainly dry for the afternoon with brighter spells. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rain early Thursday, clearing to brighter spells and showers for the afternoon. Friday turning wet and windy with best of shelter in east. Showers Saturday, more frequent in west.

It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern is rather more unclear. Some drier, brighter interludes will also occur and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Beyond mid-month, high pressure may become rather more dominant, bringing more in the way of drier and perhaps warmer weather, though this will be determined by the location and proximity of where any high is positioned relative to the UK.

High pressure will probably be the most dominant pattern during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, but overall rainfall amounts are expected to be below average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
