Aberdeen (Aberdeen) weather

Headline:

East coast haar tonight. Rain, occasionally heavy, spreads west Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any showers dying out with some late sunshine for most, but patchy haar or low cloud on east coast edging a little inland tonight, further west staying clear. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Saturday:

A dry start with some haar along the east coast. Rain spreads into eastern Aberdeenshire late morning or around midday, turning heavy and persistent, and spreading west in the afternoon. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, on Sunday. Further rain or showers Monday and Tuesday with some haar at times. A few sunnier spells, mostly warm and humid.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Wednesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly or north-westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to be close to or a little above average for most of the period. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through into the start of August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. However there are signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely as we progress further into the month. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing period, especially further south and east.
