Dry, sunny start, clouding developing later.
Today:
Shetland dry and bright to start, but likely to become cloudy with the chance of drizzle. Orkney will be dry and bright much of the day but likely to see the cloud arriving later. Light winds and warm in sunshine. Maximum Temperature 18C.
Tonight:
Likely to be cloudy with haar developing and drizzle expected, Orkney might see some brightness in the evening before the cloud thickens. Minimum Temperature 9C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Cloud is likely to be extensive over the weekend but a few breaks her and there are possible. A change on Monday with winds increasing from the north.
UK Outlook for Monday 23 Sep 2024 to Wednesday 2 Oct 2024:
Showers with the potential for some longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery at times, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south but tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible then possible, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.
