Occasional showers this evening, some heavy with chance of thunder. Still a few showers into the early hours but becoming mainly in Edinburgh and the Lothians Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Thursday:

Mainly dry start but some early showers in far south. A few sunny intervals, then some showers returning in the afternoon. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Friday dry, quite cloudy but some sunny intervals. Saturday dry with some sunshine. Sunday mainly cloudy perhaps some patchy light rain.

Largely dry and settled early next week as a ridge of high pressure continues to extend across the country. Likely turning more unsettled during the week and through to the turn of the month as low pressure becomes more dominant. This bringing showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps heavy, to most if not all areas at times though still some sunny interludes. Possibly windy at times too. Temperatures likely near to average though varying with some short-lived warm and humid spells possible, especially in the south.

A rather unsettled start to autumn is most likely with all areas probably seeing a mixture of showers or longer spells rain interspersed with drier interludes. Temperatures likely varying around average, some warm or hot spells are possible but unlikely prolonged in early September. By mid-September, there may be an increase in the extent of drier, more settled weather, especially in the south and east, though signals become very weak.
