Coatbridge (North Lanarkshire) weather

Headline:

Cloudy northwest Sunday morning, otherwise dry with bright spells.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry evening for most but with thickening cloud soon spreading south, perhaps the odd clear spell remaining towards Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Patchy light rain or showers continue over Argyll and the Isles, becoming isolated from late evening. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Sunday:

Cloudy with the odd outbreak of rain over Argyll and the Isles at first , becoming drier and brighter later. Otherwise cloudy but dry with bright or sunny spells at times. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

A band of cloud and rain will pass eastward Monday and again Wednesday with Tuesday staying drier with some brighter spells and some showers.

The outlook period likely sees a continuation of the changeable conditions, with occasional bands of rain moving in from the west or northwest. There will be a good deal of dry, warm, and settled weather in between frontal systems, with the best conditions most likely in the south and east where winds will be lighter. In contrast, further north and west, it will generally be breezier, and any rain that does occur will be heaviest over the hills. Cloud cover will vary, with cloudier weather expected in the north and west, while clearer skies are likely in the south and east. Temperatures will be around or a little below average for the time of year, but on sunnier days with lighter winds, it will still feel warm or rather warm.

On balance most likely rather changeable at first, with periods of unsettled and cloudy, wet weather mixed with spells of dry and fine weather, with weather systems tending to come from the west. This means that the west is likely to see the wettest conditions, while the east will tend to be drier. By mid month there is a signal for more settled conditions to develop, so more in the way of dry weather, although still with a risk of some rain / showers at times. Temperatures close to average at first, but with a greater chance of warmer than average conditions later in the period.
