Skye/Lusa (Highland) weather

Headline:

Largely dry and sunny on Tuesday, cloudier in east.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any showers soon dying out this evening with some late sunshine then clear spells overnight. Low cloud and mist edging inland from the Moray Firth and also extending across Sutherland. Chilly in rural parts. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

Tuesday:

Low cloud and mist becoming confined to eastern coasts through the morning, otherwise a largely dry and sunny day, just a small chance of a shower over the hills. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Dry with long clear or sunny spells through the coming days, although haar may affect eastern coasts at times. Warm or very warm, but eastern coasts cooler with onshore breezes.

Dry, fine, and largely sunny conditions are expected to continue for the vast majority as a slow moving area of high pressure remains dominant. The weather will continue to be warm or very warm, especially in the west, but it will likely be cooler in the east as some coastal areas see more persistent low cloud at times, compared with previous days. There is an increasing chance that conditions will turn wetter and more unsettled through the mid- to latter-part of next week, possibly following a hotter spell, as areas of rain and strengthening winds threaten from the west and/or south (the latter bringing a risk of thunderstorms) This would most likely to be accompanied by temperatures dropping nearer to average for the time of year.

The start of the period may see some more in the way of rain and showers across, especially across western parts. Fine and dry weather is more likely to prevail towards the south and east and may start to develop more widely, but occasional spells of rain and showers are still possible, with potential for thunderstorms on some days. Overall, temperatures will most likely be around or above normal for the time of year.
