Ireland, UK and really much of western Europe is now firmly stuck is a benign summer endgame pattern through next week and beyond.

Scotland It’s been a decent afternoon across much of the country with much of the rain from this morning dying out and turning into scattered showers. It’s a mainly dry night with clear spells and where those clear spells form, look out for mist and fog formation. Lows again cool into single figures away from towns and […]
Scotland It’s a quiet end to what has been a rather uneventful day across the country. Tonight will see an area of rain push into the West Highlands but for most it’s dry with clear spells and with those clear spells, expect temperatures to drop down to around 10C in towns and cities, perhaps 6-8C in […]

Scotland It’s been a pleasant day with just a few scattered showers which have been mainly confined to the hills through the afternoon. Winds have been fresh to strong, particularly along the West Coast where they’ve touched gale-force. Those southerly winds and sunshine helped boost temperatures into the low 20s widely, mid-20s for the sheltered […]
Scotland It’s been a damp, dreary, warm and humid afternoon but the good news is, the rain should continue to lift north of Southern and Central areas, perhaps allowing for some late day sunshine. Even in the North, the rain should break up overnight. It will be a warm, muggy, misty and murky night to come […]
As the warm front continues to lift north over the UK this evening bringing a thorough soaking to Northern England, Scotland and Ireland, the warm and humid air continues to gain ground over England and Wales, setting the stage for a downright hot day tomorrow.
