Beinn Eighe (Highland) weather

This Evening and Tonight:

A bright evening in east, early clear interludes tonight. Cloud in the west with some patchy rain will extend eastwards overnight. Winds will be light. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Wednesday:

Rather cloudy start for many, patchy rain, but brightening up across Highland with some sunny interludes. Low cloud and drizzle reaching the Hebrides in afternoon extending to Lochaber later. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Bright or sunny intervals on Thursday and Friday along with a few mainly light showers. Much of Saturday dry with some sunshine but the west cloudier with rain later.

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.
