Ben Macdui (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Slow moving showers tonight and early Wednesday. Scattered showers later.

This Evening and Tonight:

It will remain rather cloudy through the evening and overnight with some sharp showers across western parts this evening. The risk of showers moves east through the early hours, with some heavy slow moving showers possible. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Wednesday:

Cloudy in the east at first with some heavy slow moving showers, otherwise a bright day with scattered showers developing, some of these turning heavy in the afternoon. Rather warm. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Bright spells and a few showers on Thursday. Cloudy and windy on Friday with outbreaks of rain. Warm and humid on Saturday with further showers.

Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills, especially western Scotland where large rainfall totals may have built up by this time. Eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks, but with a risk of thundery showers, which could be slow moving at first. Likely turning cooler and more showery into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses.

Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
