Orkney & Shetland weather forecast

Headline:

Cloudy with rain then sunny spells and isolated afternoon showers.

Today:

Cloudy with rain, persistent at times. This turns to patchy drizzle as bright spells develop later in the morning. Many places become dry with bright or sunny spells as the drizzle clears to the occasional shower from the early afternoon. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

The evening will see bright spells with the occasional shower. These showers will die later with cloud and patchy drizzle following east from midnight. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Thursday:

Low cloud and drizzle will clear for a time in the morning. Further cloud and rain will push north during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Outbreaks of locally heavy rain spread northeast Friday. This clears to sunny spells and the odd shower Saturday. Orkney will become dry as the odd shower continues over Shetland Sunday.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC+1) on Wed 17 Jun 2026

UK long range weather forecast

Probably a north-south split at the start of this period. In the north, changeable and often rather cloudy with showers or some longer spells of rain, perhaps heavy at times, and temperatures near normal. In the south, mainly fine and dry with temperatures well above normal, albeit with a small risk of a few showers or thunderstorms at times. Into late June, high pressure may begin to build with conditions becoming more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for many areas.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC+1) on Tue 16 Jun 2026

High pressure patterns are slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during this period, meaning settled and drier than average conditions are most probable. However, there is still a chance of some changeable, more unsettled conditions could develop at times. Temperatures are likely to be above normal, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing.
