It will mainly be cool and windy this weekend but there is a hint of better weather at the end of the month, the Met Office has said.
Wind is coming down on the UK from the north, with low pressure sitting north-east of the UK and high pressure to the west, senior operational meteorologist Marco Petagna said.
The weather is expected to remain unsettled for the next week but there is a “hint” that later in the month things could become more settled, but “it’s still quite a way off”, Mr Petagna said.
No weather warnings are in place and are not expected in the short term, the forecaster added.
On Saturday, there will be quite a few showers across Scotland, the Met Office said.
One or two of the showers across Scotland will be heavy and there could be some thunder.
Mr Petagna said: “It’s going to feel chilly in the north.”
Across the north of the UK, the maximum temperatures on Saturday are likely to be between 11C and 15C.
The average temperatures for this time of year are usually between 13C-16C in the north and 17C-19C further south, so this weekend is likely to be “average or just below”, but the showers and breeze will make it feel much colder, Mr Petagna added.
Overnight on Saturday into Sunday, there will be rain moving in across Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland.
Across Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland, parts of northern England and North Wales there will be outbreaks of rain on Sunday.
Central and north-east Scotland will see sunshine and showers.
Temperatures will be similar to Saturday, with highs of between 12C-15C in the northern half of the UK and highs of 16C-19C in the south.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
