Braemar (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Bright, dry start, soon cloudy with persistent rain spreading east.

Today:

The day will begin dry with sunny periods in the east. Cloud will soon spread east with rain reaching western parts by midday and the whole area by mid-afternoon. Falls become persistent by late afternoon. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

The evening will be cloudy with persistent showery rain. The rain will clear most parts from late evening, leaving only patchy light rain in the west at times. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Tuesday:

Cloudy with scattered showers in the morning. The showers will clear by midday with sunny spells increasing through the afternoon. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Conditions become warmer from Wednesday. Wednesday will be dry but cloudy and Thursday and Friday continue cloudy with bands of heavy and thundery showers possible at times.

The start of this period is likely to be quite unsettled but also widely warm or very warm and humid, perhaps locally hot in parts of the south and east. Some rain or showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. Later in the weekend and into the start of the following week, most parts will become drier but also cooler and fresher. Another brief spell of rain or showers may then affect some parts before high pressure likely builds in more firmly from midweek, and the rest of the following week looks like being mainly dry with variable cloud and some sunshine and mostly warm or very warm. The north may be cloudier with some rain at times though.

High pressure looks like being largely dominant at first, maintaining plenty of mainly dry and warm weather, but with variable cloud amounts. However, although details are uncertain, late June and early July looks like becoming more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable at times, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
