An Socach (Highland) weather

Headline:

East dry, warm and sunny Tuesday. Cloudier across the west.

This Evening and Tonight:

Rather cloudy over west Highlands and Western Isles with a little drizzle. Clearer skies towards Inverness with a few fog patches possible later tonight. Brisk southerly winds across the Western Isles. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Tuesday:

Moray Firth coast and the east will be dry with very warm sunshine. A cloudy morning elsewhere with occasional drizzle and coastal mist, brightening up in the afternoon. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

High pressure will remain in charge maintaining dry, warm weather with plenty of sunshine. Some patches of mist and fog early mornings, gradually dispersing.

Settled but often cloudy across many central and northern areas through the weekend, with the best of the sun found to the west of high ground. Whereas showers and some thunderstorms are expected by day across the south. Most places away from North Sea coasts will see above average temperatures through the weekend. Early next week, the risk of showers and thunderstorms will reduce across the south, with a very short-lived settled spell likely as the transition occurs. Following this transition areas of cloud, rain and stronger winds are expected to push in from the west once again, but the focus for this heavy rain is likely to be across the southern half of the UK, with more settled conditions perhaps holding on for the longest in the north.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of wet, unsettled weather will likely be broken up by the odd short spell of more settled, drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially for the south. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average.
