Huntly (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Dry with long sunny spells developing

Today:

A rather cloudy start but becoming brighter from the south to leave a dry day with long sunny spells developing. Feeling warm inland with mainly light winds but cooler on east coast with fresher southeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

A fine and dry end to the day with some late sunshine. A dry night follows with long clear spells. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Thursday:

Dry with good spells of sunshine through the morning and early afternoon. However increasing cloud brings outbreaks of occasionally heavy, perhaps thundery, showery rain northeast from mid-afternoon. Freshening southeasterly breeze. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Sunny spells and a few showers Friday. Potential for heavy, perhaps torrential, thundery rain soon spreading north on Saturday, but brighter later. Sunny spells and the odd shower Sunday.

On Sunday, rain and showers will be slow to clear across the north, especially across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Further south, high pressure to the southwest of the UK will extend northeastwards, bringing settled and fair weather mainly across England and Wales. Cloud and rain may hold on for longer across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, while the weather should turn drier and brighter across eastern Scotland where sheltered by high ground. From mid week, high pressure is signalled to dominate much of the UK, bringing dry and fine weather, and feeling warm in the sunshine with light winds for most. Any early morning mist or fog will be quick to clear, and daytime temperature will likely trend around or above normal for the time of year.

High pressure may still be largely dominant at first, maintaining mainly dry and warm weather, with variable cloud amounts. The weather during late June and early July may turn more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable for all parts at times, and could be heavy and thundery, which is normal at this time of year. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
