View the weather with our interactive map
Shetland mainly dry with sunny spells, Orkney cloudier, patchy rain.
Dry with some late sunny spells this evening. Shetland remains dry with clear spells overnight, but cloud increases across Orkney, with perhaps some patchy rain by the end of the night. Minimum temperature 9 °C.
Rather cloudy morning in Orkney with a little rain, then sunshine breaking through in afternoon. Shetland dry and bright with some sunny spells, cloudier evening. Light and variable winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
Shetland bright with sunny spells on Thursday, Orkney cloudiier with patchy rain, perhaps brighternm later. Friday breezy, sunny intervals and showers. Saturday dry, sunny spells, winds easing.
Updated:
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.
Updated:
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.
