    Orkney & Shetland weather forecast

    Headline:

    Cloudy and mainly dry on Monday.

    Today:

    A rather cloudy but mainly dry day, just the odd light shower around, along with a few sunny intervals, these most likely over Shetland. Mostly light west or northwest breeze. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

    Tonight:

    It will remain mostly cloudy and while dry much of the time there will be a little patchy light rain. Mostly light west or northwest wind. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

    Tuesday:

    Yet another mainly dry but mostly cloudy day, always with the chance of some patches of light rain. Mostly light west or northwest wind. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

    Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

    Rather cloudy weather with a few light showers, but also one or two sunnier interludes. A moderate to fresh westerly on Wednesday then winds easing again later in the week.
