Fisk Helliar weather map
View the weather with our interactive map
Rain overnight clearing to sunshine and a few showers Thursday.
This evening will be dry, rather cloudy across Shetland, but some late sunshine for Orkney. Cloud increasing late evening, then outbreaks of rain spreading from the west along with freshening southerly winds. Minimum temperature 12 °C.
Rain at first across Shetland, this soon clearing away. Otherwise it will be mainly dry with just the odd passing shower, sunny spells by afternoon. Brisk south or southwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
Rain clearing to showers Friday, fresh to strong southwesterly winds. Breezy with a few showers on Saturday. Mainly dry on Sunday, chance of rain later on.
Updated:
Low pressure will probably move northeast over the UK in a rather erratic manner at the start of this period, bringing some potentially heavy rain and a small chance of strong winds to northwestern areas. Ahead of this, hot and humid conditions are possible across parts of England in particular, though the longevity and extent of any hot weather are uncertain at the moment. Looking towards mid-August, and high pressure is more likely to dominate the weather across the UK. This will bring plenty of dry weather for the most part, though northern areas may see a rather more changeable theme with occasional rain or showers and breezier conditions at times. Above average temperatures are more likely than not, especially in the south, where it could also be rather humid.
Updated:
High pressure, and therefore largely settled conditions overall, appears more likely for the second half of August. Although dry weather is likely to dominate, periods of rain or showers and thunderstorms may develop at times. Above average temperatures overall seem most likely, with the potential for hot spells to develop, especially in the east and south. By early September, there are signals for high pressure to become less dominant with perhaps a greater chance of some rain, though there is some uncertainty in this aspect of the forecast.
