weather wc 14th September

Last week i was watching the forecast closely and as with waiting for a kettle to boil, hoping that Saturday would be a sunnier day than predicted it never happened so my day on the hills was disappointing in terms of views but still at least it was not too windy, however that is about to change!

The week of the equinox is always regrettably a little predictable as far as the weather in concerned due to the stronger winds coming in form the west but given that 2008 has rewritten the weather forecasts with Scotland's West Coast having a better summer than the rest of the UK we cannot be sure what we should expect. So whats ahead:

Sunday: A bright morning in store as any early mist and fog slowly lifts. The cloud will increase and thicken from the west during the afternoon as patchy rain spreads in later.

Monday: A mainly cloudy day as rain continues to occur during the day. The rain will be more persistent at first before becoming lighter and patchy.

Tuesday: Patchy rain dying out through the day.

Wednesday:  dry and bright with lighter winds

Thursday: Further cloud and outbreaks of rain will push in on strengthening clouds from the West.

Friday: Initially it is expected that we will have rather cloudy skies with occasional rain.

Saturday:After a wet night it will begin to dry with patchy fog gradually dispersing to allow some sunshine to develop, although there will often be large amounts of cloud drifting around.
