Muir of Ord (Highland) weather

Headline:

Mainly dry start then rain spreading east later Monday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Patchy rain in the east will soon clear. It will then be mainly dry and turning colder during the night with clear periods. Possibly a few light showers in the Northwest by morning. Freshening northwesterly winds. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Monday:

Mostly dry in the morning with sunny spells and feeling colder. A few light showers then more persistent rain arriving during the afternoon and evening. Fresh westerly winds. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Wet, windy on Tuesday morning, then brighter with blustery showers and strong northwest winds in afternoon and also Wednesday. Fewer showers on Thursday but still quite windy. Feeling much colder.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
