Flood warnings in force for Scotland

Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA)

Highlands & Eilean Siar weather forecast

Headline:

A few showers Saturday morning. Rain, snow, gales later.

Today:

A bright morning with sunny intervals and the odd shower. Cloud spreads north with rain soon following this afternoon, becoming heavy and turning to snow to fairly low levels with heavy falls on high ground. Strengthening northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Further rain sleet and snow, heavy at times this evening, and strong to gale force northerly winds, severe around coasts. Winds easing and turning showery overnight. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Sunday:

A bright mainly dry start with sunshine and isolated showers. Cloud increasing to bring a band of rain sleet or snow around middle of day before brightening again later. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Mostly dry on Monday, some sunshine but clouding over, patchy rain for Isles. Sunny start Tuesday, then rain reaching west later, some heavy. Occasional rain or showers on Wednesday.

Updated: 04:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 4 Apr 2026

UK long range weather forecast

Rather changeable conditions are expected through this period, as Atlantic frontal systems track eastwards across the UK, accompanied by some strong winds at times. These will bring occasional spells of rain or showers, heaviest and most frequent in the west and northwest, with longer drier interludes likely in the south and sheltered eastern areas. Whilst temperatures will be close to average for the period as a whole, there may be opportunities for some short-lived warm spells in the south and east. Conversely, occasional colder interludes in the northwest will bring the chance of some wintry showers, especially over hills, and overnight frost.

Updated: 13:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 4 Apr 2026

It is probable that more blocked, or at least slowly evolving, weather patterns will become increasingly dominant through the middle of the month. Whilst confidence is low, this may result in more settled and drier conditions overall. There may, however, still be some more unsettled interludes at times, especially in the south and southwest. Temperatures will probably be around or a little above normal for the period as a whole, and its possible we may see some pleasantly warm spring weather at times.
