Dunbar (East Lothian) weather

Headline:

Dry, bright start Tuesday. Cloud and rain soon extend north.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any isolated showers dying out this evening with some late sunshine. The night will be dry with clear periods though becoming cloudier and breezier by the morning. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Tuesday:

A mainly dry start but thickening cloud soon bringing rain to Dumfries and Galloway and southern Borders, spreading north reaching Edinburgh by around midday. Strengthening easterly winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Cloudy with rain, heavy at times, on Wednesday. Rain gradually easing through Thursday, becoming mainly dry by evening. Mainly dry Friday with sunny spells, but chance of the odd shower.

Into the weekend conditions will be mostly cool to average with some showers at times, most settled in the north west but increasingly showery to the southeast with a low risk of a more humid and thundery plume affecting eastern areas at first. The first part of the new week likely to see a mostly showery westerly breeze establish allowing temperatures to recover to around or just above average, feeling warm in sunnier periods outside of showers/heavy showers or thunderstorms, with a more settled spell to the southwest mid-week possibly spreading to much of the UK, though this likely only brief before a more showery northwest flow resumes. Winds after the weekend will be mostly light to moderate, though gusty conditions near heavy showers and thunderstorms remains likely.

As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is low. There are some signs of a slightly greater than normal chance of a more prolonged settled spell developing at some point during the period, at least for a time, and perhaps more likely in the south. However, by the same token further, perhaps shorter, unsettled interludes are probable too. Above average temperatures overall, and drier than average conditions overall, are very slightly favoured.
