Rattray Bay (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Sunny spells and scattered showers on Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Some late sunny spells with any showers soon dying out. Then a dry night with clear spells, although northern and eastern Aberdeenshire and Moray becoming cloudy through the early hours. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday:

Cloud across the north and east breaking up through the morning, otherwise a bright day with sunny spells and a few showers developing. Mainly light easterly winds. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rather cloudy Thursday with patchy rain, best of any brightness in west. Dry, bright Friday morning but cloud and occasional rain spreading east in afternoon, clearing to showers on Saturday.

Starting off with something of a northwest to southeast split; higher pressure located towards the southeast should bring fine and increasingly warm conditions across at least southern UK, whilst there is a greater chance of periods of cloud, rain and stronger winds affecting the north. There will be fine weather here at times as well too however. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country early next week, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.

Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring. A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells. Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms.
