Dry with sunny spells. Quite breezy.
This Evening and Tonight:
Over Shetland dry with cloud clearing from the north bringing long clear periods overnight. For Orkney a few sunny then clear spells in the evening but generally turning cloudier overnight. Minimum Temperature 5C.
Friday:
A dry day. Any lingering cloud over Orkney soon clearing then plenty of sunshine. East to northeast breezes occasionally fresh. Maximum Temperature 9C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
High pressure remaining in charge to give dry and settled weather. Rather cloudy but some clear and sunny intervals breaking through at times. Winds becoming light
UK Outlook for Tuesday 8 Apr 2025 to Thursday 17 Apr 2025:
High pressure should prevail for most of the outlook period, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, but most places will be warm for most of the period, and very warm days most likely will be further inland. Overnight frosts are possible on clear nights where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, notably around the east coast. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west.
