This Evening and Tonight:

Any showers dying out with some late sunshine for most. Overnight mostly dry with some clear spells. but cloud thickening across the southern part of the Borders by the end of the night. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Saturday:

A dry but increasingly cloudy start in the north and west, but outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain spread north and west through the morning. Rain easing late afternoon. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy with showers or longer outbreaks of rain, the showers especially heavy and thundery on Sunday. Haar at times around North Sea coasts.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Wednesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly or north-westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to be close to or a little above average for most of the period. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through into the start of August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. However there are signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely as we progress further into the month. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing period, especially further south and east.
