Musselburgh Racecourse (East Lothian) weather

Headline:

This Evening and Tonight:

A largely dry evening and night. Cloud increasing from the south for a few hours early in the night. Lengthy clear spells in the early hours. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Thursday:

A dry day with plenty of sunshine, but it will feel notably colder than of late in the fresh northwest winds. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rain Friday morning, then dry and sunny. Very windy with spells of rain Saturday and Sunday, a risk of gales. Winds gradually easing Sunday.

Following a widely unsettled weekend, conditions are expected to briefly become more settled and colder with a weak ridge of high pressure moving across the country. This is not expected to last, with further cloud, rain and stronger winds moving quickly east across the UK on Monday, reintroducing very mild conditions. Following this, a more prolonged period of settled weather looks likely to develop as an area of high pressure becomes established across much of the UK, confining spells of rain and wind to the northwest of Scotland. It may even become settled here too, but confidence in the north/south boundary between settled and unsettled steadily lowers through the period. Becoming widely mild, perhaps exceptionally so in some places, although clearer spells overnight may lead to localised frost and fog.

Often settled across southern areas, with fairly dry, mild, but cloudy conditions dominating overall. More unsettled further north, with majority of periods of rain, and stronger winds, affecting this region, especially northwest Scotland. Whilst colder, brighter, and potentially wintry spells cannot be ruled out, particularly early in the period, overall temperatures have a greater than normal chance of being above average.
