Mainly dry with sunny spells.
It will be a mainly dry and bright day with sunny spells. The odd passing shower is possible and heavy showers may drift up from Caithness into southern Orkney in the afternoon. Light west or southwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
A bright end to the day with showers dying out. Remaining largely dry overnight with clear spells but the odd showers affecting Shetland later. Minimum temperature 10 °C.
A largely dry and bright day with sunny spells, the best of these across Orkney in the afternoon. Scattered light showers, mainly affecting Shetland. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
Dry, bright and rather warm on Monday then some rain overnight. Sunny spells and scattered showers on Tuesday and Wednesday and feeling a little cooler.
Updated:
The end of July and into early August will typically be dominated by a northwest-southeast split. North-western areas will probably experience rather breezy conditions with cloud and some outbreaks of rain or drizzle as weakening Atlantic frontal systems attempt to push eastwards across the UK. Toward the south and east it will tend to be drier and brighter much of the time, although there is also the small possibility of some thundery showers spreading in from the nearby continent at times. Temperatures during this period will probably be close to or slightly above average overall, with the likelihood of some very warm conditions developing in the south and perhaps parts of the east at times.
Updated:
No single weather type is expected to dominate through this period. Some spells of dry, settled weather will likely alternate with wetter, cloudier conditions at times. The wettest conditions will probably be in the northwest, with the southeast tending to be driest. Through the period as a whole, warmer than average conditions are more probable, perhaps with some short-lived hot spells.
