Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel (Edinburgh) weather

Headline:

Largely dry morning with sunshine. A few showers later.

Today:

A mainly dry and sunny morning, but the odd shower possible for the eastern Borders. The showers are then expected to develop more widely later this afternoon. A cold wind. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Showers will clear away to the south this evening. Dry for the rest of the night with frost developing inland, but showers through the early hours for the eastern Borders. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Wednesday:

A rather cloudy day for the Lothians and Borders with showers, but mostly dry towards Galloway and the west coast with some bright or sunny spells. A cold wind. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Remaining chilly with overnight inland frosts. A few showers for the east coast on Thursday, otherwise mainly dry with some bright or sunny periods.

The weekend will continue on a cool theme, but with the high pressure to the north becoming more dominant it should lead to a reduction in shower activity seen on previous days. So there should be a good deal of dry weather with plenty of sunshine by day, but still some noticeably chilly nights with frost fairly widespread. The odd fog patch is possible in the north, and a brisk breeze across the south will make it feel notably chilly here on Saturday. Next week is likely to see a gradual transition to less settled conditions as the high likely withdraws to the east. So rain or showers at times, mostly focussed across the south, the north perhaps staying largely dry and it is also likely to become much milder.

Confidence is low, but through the remainder of March changeable weather patterns are most likely. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more-frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
