Sgurr A' Ghreadaidh (Highland) weather

Headline:

Cloudy and breezy with frequent showers.

Today:

The day will be cloudy with a fresh northwesterly breeze. Showers will be frequent in the north at first, spreading down the western coast in the afternoon. The wind will ease from the late afternoon. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Frequent showers will die as clear spells increase from the late evening. The rest of the night will stay dry as cloud pushes northeast across the area. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Wednesday:

After a cloudy but dry start, rain will spread north in the morning. This rain will turn showery as bright spells increase in the afternoon. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Unsettled conditions with rain, showers and strong winds continue. These conditions will be interspersed with brief drier and brighter spells.

The broadly unsettled conditions look to continue during the first part of this period. All areas are likely to see some further spells of wet and at times windy weather, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. By the start of the following week, a ridge of high pressure may extend eastwards towards the UK, bringing an increasing chance of longer periods of drier weather to northern areas initially, whilst low pressure remains closer to the south or southeast. Towards the end of this period, high pressure may be rather more dominant across the UK. A cooler interlude is likely for a time through next week, with chilly nights and fog patches likely under the influence of high pressure. Temperatures probably return closer to average by late September.

Signals for prevailing weather patterns become fairly limited by the turn of the month and the early part of October. As is typical at this time of year, there are likely to be some spells of wet and windy weather along with some drier interludes but no strong preference to whether settled or unsettled regimes will be most dominant. Overall, northwestern parts are more likely to be wettest and windiest. Temperatures likely fluctuating around average.
