Grampian weather forecast
Headline:
Cloud and rain clear Saturday morning. Then dry and bright.
This Evening and Tonight:
Chance of some drier and clearer spells at first. Otherwise becoming cloudy as outbreaks of rain push east through the evening and over night, becoming heavy or persistent at times. Perhaps the odd icy patch in rural upland areas. Minimum temperature 0 °C.
Saturday:
A cloudy start with outbreaks of rain. This rain will clear during the morning with sunny spells increasing through the afternoon. Maximum temperature 5 °C.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Sunday to Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with showers at times. These showers may merge into longer periods of rain for a time Sunday night and into Monday.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
After a settled start across much of England, it will be quickly turning unsettled across Scotland, Wales and then the rest of England through Wednesday and into Thursday, with cloud and rain bearing Atlantic systems heralding a trend back towards more changeable, or even unsettled conditions. There will be some short-lived transient settled periods too, perhaps bringing an increased risk of frost and fog for a day or two. Towards the end of the period, an increasing chance of more settled spells once again, although confidence is very low by this point. Initially starting cold across England and Wales for Wednesday, before temperatures rise across Scotland and then England and Wales as Atlantic weather systems arrive, and will more often be above average than below through much of the period.
Updated:
There is an increased chance of settled spells at first, bringing more in the way of dry weather, light winds, and increased risk of overnight fog and frosts. This is associated with more frequent periods of high pressure which will probably never be too far away to the north or east. Whilst spells of wind/rain still remain possible they may be less frequent than usual at first, but a steady increase in periods of unsettled weather across southern and/or western areas in particular seems likely as the period progresses. Above average temperatures are slightly more likely overall, but colder spells, especially at first and in the north, could still occur. One or more spells of snow cannot be ruled out, should weather systems arriving from the south into colder air.
