Stob Diamh (Argyll and Bute) weather

Headline:

Windy, turning showery and seasonally cool.

A windy and showery day with winds reaching near gale force around the coasts and Isles early morning. Showers light and scattered early, turning frequent and occasionally heavy for the afternoon. Best of shelter in the Central Belt. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Showers focused across Argyll and around the west coastal fringes, but tending to die out across Lanarkshire and in the Central Belt. Risk rural ground frost for some eastern areas. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday:

Another cool, windy, showery day, but winds a little lighter than Tuesday. Showers quite frequent, in Argyll and far west, but elsewhere largely confined between late morning and the afternoon. Maximum temperature 15 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Brighter spells and isolated showers for Thursday, but temperatures still seasonally disappointing. Dry, bright, cold start to Friday, then rain spreading from west later that lingers for much of Saturday.

Initially fine for most locations during this period the early part of this period, with a weak front bringing cloud and patchy rain across central parts of UK returning northwards through Sunday into Monday, and perhaps bringing rainfall to the northwest, which could be heavy for a time across the hills of Northwest Scotland. This pattern is then likely to persist, with many areas likely remaining mostly fine, and the greatest chance of cloud and rain being across the far west and more especially northwest. Temperatures during this period are likely to be on the warmer side of average, but with settled conditions warm days could be offset by a few chilly nights. Towards the end of this period there is a signal that the more settled conditions may cease.

The recent spell of more blocked weather patterns may ease at the beginning of this period, with a gradual revert back to a more mobile west or southwesterly type most likely, with low pressure often centred to the northwest of the UK and high pressure over the nearby continent. This would bring spells of wet and sometimes windy conditions, most frequently in the northwest, with longer drier periods towards the south and east. Temperatures will typically be near normal, perhaps a little below at times in the northwest especially, with the chance of some occasional warmer conditions in the south and east.
