It will be mainly dry and turning colder during the night with clear periods. Possibly a few light showers by morning. Freshening northwesterly winds. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Monday:

It will be mostly dry with sunny spells and feeling colder. There will be a few light showers, passing by quickly. Fresh westerly winds. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Wet, windy Tuesday morning, then brighter showery weather following. Wednesday and Thursday will see further blustery showers, strong northwest winds and feeling colder.

Initially cool with northerly winds providing showers along exposed northern, western and eastern coasts, but also a few inland at times too, although central and southern areas may stay fairly dry and sunny. Showers wintry on the mountain tops in Scotland. Towards the end of the week and into the weekend it will likely turn more widely drier for a time, especially in central and southern areas, with the greater chance of rain and blustery conditions in the north and northwest. A gradual recovery in temperature is also expected as winds become more westerly. By the following week, while confidence is low a trend towards more settled conditions is most likely, accompanied by warmer temperatures. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, especially in the south and/or 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.
