Midlothian Snowsports Centre (Midlothian Council) weather

Headline:

Mainly dry and bright on Monday but rain later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloudy in the east with showers, perhaps longer spells of rain in the Borders, but gradually becoming drier overnight. Galloway will be dry with clear periods developing. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Monday:

A mainly dry and colder day with sunny spells developing. It will cloud over later in afternoon with rain spreading from west in the evening. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Wet, windy Tuesday morning. Brighter with blustery showers and strong northwest winds Tuesday afternoon and on Wednesday. Fewer showers Thursday but still quite windy. Feeling colder.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
