A Met Office forecast for Tuesday August 5 explains: “A mix of sunshine and showers, with the showers mainly across northern and central areas, where a few heavy showers are possible with isolated thunder. Alot drier in the south and a lot less windy than yesterday, but still blustery.
“Most areas dry with clear spells. Cloudier in the far north of Scotland with some showers and outbreaks of rain. Cooler than previous night with winds easing.”
A Wednesday (August 6) outlook adds: “Dry with variable cloud but rain continuing in the north. Winds light to moderate with temperatures around average but feeling warm where winds are light.”
The outlook for Thursday to Saturday says: “Generally cloudier again on Thursday with outbreaks of rain for some. Showers continuing in the north on Friday and Saturday and turning more blustery once again.”
The August 9 to August 18 outlook says: “This period starts with something of a north-south split. Some locally heavy rain or showers, with a risk of thunder, will likely affect the north, along with some strong winds, whilst the south looks like starting mainly dry with some warm sunshine and lighter winds.
“There is a small chance of some rain or showers even in the south, but more likely it will be mainly dry and warm here. Temperatures will probably be close to average in the north at first.
“As we move towards the middle of the month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier, more settled conditions becoming more widespread with above average temperatures.
“However, some brief unsettled spells remain possible, particularly towards the end of this period.”
