West Calder (West Lothian) weather

Headline:

Mainly dry and cloudy on Thursday.

Today:

Cloudy over Dumfries and Galloway with patchy drizzle. Any fog patches in the east soon clearing to allow a generally bright start before becoming largely cloudy through the day. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Staying largely cloudy through the evening and overnight with some patchy drizzle over Dumfries and Galloway, though a few transient clearer spells may develop at times in the east. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Friday:

It will stay widely cloudy through the morning, but some brighter spells may begin to break through during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry but rather cloudy Saturday morning, there may be some bright spells later. Some rain spreading east on Sunday then becoming fine. Staying largely dry and bright through Monday.

Early next week will see a good deal of dry, settled weather as high pressure builds across the UK. However, after a bright start, increasingly cloudy conditions are likely to develop by midweek, with patchy drizzle possible at times. Some fog is also possible, this slow to clear. Later next week, it looks like turning more unsettled for a time, with some rain or showers, particularly towards the east. After a possible brief drier spell next weekend, it may become largely unsettled during the following week. Winds will be mainly light for many parts early next week, but breezier conditions seem likely to develop from later next week. Temperatures will be near or a little above average at first, but will tend to drop a little below average later.

A general trend towards more unsettled conditions for all parts seems more likely than not through this period. Initially, there may be something of a north-south split, with more unsettled conditions towards the north whilst drier conditions persist towards the south. However, as we head into December, a more unsettled and mobile picture will probably develop across all parts. Temperatures will probably be close to or a little above average overall, although some colder interludes are possible, especially in the north.
