Cruach Ardrain (Stirling) weather

Headline:

A mainly dry day, perhaps the odd isolated shower this afternoon. Variable amounts of cloud with some bright or sunny intervals at times. Feeling very warm in any sunshine. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Tonight:

Mainly dry this evening, the odd shower across northern Tayside. Then the rest of the night will see clear periods, a few light showers spreading to western Tayside later. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Thursday:

A mostly cloudy day with a few showers, perhaps briefly heavy in the south. Becoming drier from the north through the afternoon. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Dry with sunny intervals on Friday, just the odd shower. Dry and bright on Saturday. Cloudy on Sunday with rain spreading east for a time.

Outbreaks of rain will spill southeast across many areas through Sunday into early Monday, but any rain becoming light and patchy in the south. Early next week there is the potential for an unseasonably deep area of low pressure to affect the UK, which would bring widely windy and wetter weather, though the details around this are rather uncertain. Following this, a continuation of the broadly changeable pattern with occasional spells of rain or showers, some drier, brighter interludes and temperatures probably near average for the most part. As we move towards mid-month, there is an increased chance of high pressure becoming more dominant, leading to drier and more settled conditions becoming more widespread and perhaps some warmer weather developing, compared to the preceding couple of weeks.

High pressure, and therefore more settled conditions overall, appears most likely for the second half of August. There may still be some rain and cloud clipping the west or northwest at times. For most, predominantly dry weather is likely to continue, although short periods of showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south, these more probable further into August.
