Ben Alder (Highland) weather

Headline:

Mostly dry with sunny spells today.

Today:

Mainly dry with sunny spells throughout the day today. Cloudier in the far north at first but breaking up into the afternoon. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Some late sunshine to end the day. Cloudier overnight with a few showers pushing in from the west, best of the clear spells in the east. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Wednesday:

Mainly dry through Wednesday with bright or sunny spells, perhaps the odd light shower. Rain arriving from the west by midnight. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Outbreaks of rain at times on Thursday, turning heavier and more persistent into the evening. Further rain through the day Friday, clearing eastwards during Saturday.

Early in this period, low pressure is likely to exist to the northwest or north of the UK, allowing areas of cloud and rain to spread across the UK from the west, though some more settled interludes are also likely, especially in the southeast. Breezy at times, with temperatures mainly near or below normal. Remaining changeable thereafter as weather systems to move across the country from the west, with northern and western areas typically wettest and a greater chance of dry conditions prevailing in the southeast. There is, however, a smaller chance for either unsettled weather to be more widely prevalent, or for a more quiescent period to develop across the south. Overall, temperatures will likely be near normal, but may feel cool in the west at times.

Through this period, there remains a slightly increased chance of more settled spells of weather developing at times, particularly in the south, and the likelihood of this has been gradually increasing over the past few days. However, there is still a substantial chance of other outcomes too, with more changeable periods also likely. Overall drier than average conditions are more likely than wetter than average, and warmer than average conditions are weakly favoured too.
