Flood warnings in force for Scotland

Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA)

Orkney & Shetland weather forecast

Headline:

Windy with rain at times for Wednesday,

This Evening and Tonight:

It will stay dry through the evening but with a freshening southeast wind. Staying dry for Shetland overnight, but clouding over with the odd spot of rain possible for Orkney. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Wednesday:

Mostly dry to start but cloud and rain will soon push north through the morning. Staying cloudy with outbreaks of rain and strong southeast winds throughout the day. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Bright spells and scattered showers during Thursday. A dry start Friday with rain pushing northeast later. Showers or longer spells of rain on Saturday.

Updated: 16:00 (UTC+1) on Tue 14 Apr 2026

UK long range weather forecast

A few showers around at the start of the period, mainly affecting the far northeast of the UK. For many though Sunday should be fine and dry with spells of warm sunshine. Into the following week fronts associated with another Atlantic low will try to push into the UK, but may struggle to make inroads against an area of high pressure to the northeast and are likely to be held at bay. So for much of next week plenty of dry weather with sunny spells. Some E coasts could be on the chilly side, but further west temperatures likely feeling quite warm. Toward next weekend and beyond likely turning more unsettled with a return of some rain or showers for many.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC+1) on Tue 14 Apr 2026

The dominant pattern during this period is most likely to be high pressure (or higher than average pressure) to the north and lower pressure to the south. This will probably lead to drier and more settled than normal weather in the north or northwest of the UK, with the south and southwest likely seeing a greater chance of some rain at times. Temperatures will probably be close to or slightly above average overall, perhaps becoming more widely warm at times.
