Weather w/c 22nd February

As a guide, my parents always used to go on holiday overseas in FFebruary, ffirstly because it was their last chance of a good break before they started gearing up for the newseason at Eriska which began at Easter and latterly because my father believed the weather in February was the worst of the year with howling gales and rain. However it just shows how times have changed or how they must have been out of the country for the month and never really know what the weather was like in Februray.

This year at Eriska has been similar to most others with a combination of rain and cloud but also interspersed with colder frostier mornings and some stunning spring like days of sunshine and blue skies. It  has meant that out outside works schedule has had to be pretty fluid but in reality we have probably managed already to get through the  bulk of the dry weather jobs and the next week looks little different.

Today: It should be a generally dry day with some patchy cloud but also bright or sunny spells. 

Monday: After a cloudy night with occasional rain itwill be a rather cloudy day and some patchy but mainly light rain is likely. However, some brighter intervals should also occur.

Tuesday: :Some drier and brighter spells but a few showers will also occur.

Wednesday: Another dry day with the odd shower but much cooler with winds freshening at times and turning colder.

Thursday: The short lived colder spell looks likely for most areas with some snow at times on higher Mountains around.

Friday: Another cold day especially after the clear skies overnight and the risk of frost but still staying mostly dry

Saturday:A slight change in the weather with unsettled conditions with rain or showers pushing in from the west.
