Today will be one of those days where the island can’t decide what mood it’s in.
Sunny intervals, clear spells, and blustery showers all fighting for attention, and the wind joining in just to keep things lively.
Winds start off fairly sensible, South/Southwest 10-15mph, but don’t get attached, they ramp up through the day, hitting 25-30mph with gusts 35-40mph, and in a few exposed spots they may briefly flirt with 45-50mph.
Temperatures sit around 10°C, dipping to 5°C overnight. Visibility stays good unless you’re unlucky enough to be inside a shower at the wrong moment.
More Wind
Tomorrow keeps the sunshine‑and‑showers theme but tones down the drama.
A windy start with SW gusts around 40mph, easing as the day goes on until the wind remembers how to behave.
Highs of 11°C, lows of 4°C, and the usual “good but occasionally moderate in showers” visibility. A day for quick dashes between raindrops.
Outlook
Monday finally gives us a breather. Sunny intervals, just the odd isolated shower, and winds that have the decency to drop to 10-15mph, becoming light and variable later.
Highs of 11°C, lows of 3°C. A grass frost may sneak in overnight, because April likes to keep you guessing.
A genuinely pleasant day on Tuesday: fine and sunny, light winds, and temperatures climbing to 13°C.
Enjoy it while it lasts, rain arrives later in the night along with hill fog and a freshening southerly breeze.
