Weather Outlook
In this section, we are going to discuss the upcoming weather for the islands in the coming days and at a long range. Friday low pressure sits close to Ireland. This will feed rain and showers across the islands. Heavy at times and possibly thundery in nature. In between plenty of sunshine and feeling warm. Winds mainly light but strengthening for Tiree gusting 40 mph here to end the day. Saturday and Sunday the low pressure system will slowly move Northwards feeding more rain and showers across the islands. We will see some longer spells of rain at times. In between some sunny spells. We could see further thundery showers. In between some decent spells of sunshine. It will be fairly windy with winds gusting 20 to 40 mph with some gusts reaching 50 mph the further South you are. Monday one area of low pressure departs with showers and further spells of rain. Becoming drier and brighter for a time before the next area of low pressure moves towards the islands on Tuesday again with further strong winds and heavy rain. The rest of next week and once again further spells of unsettled weather with more rain and showers. Beyond that is really into the long range again things are expected to stay unsettled with no clear indications of more settled weather.

Good afternoon and welcome to your latest weather briefing from Western Isles Weather. Today we are going to take a look at the weather for the rest of this week, the weekend and towards next week for our islands. Highlighting any notable weather or significant weather and looking at the latest trends. We will also be looking at thunderstorm warnings in England. The last 24 hours of weather for our islands and severe hailstorms in France.
Weather Outlook
In this section, we are going to discuss the upcoming weather for the islands in the coming days and at a long range. Thursday we are going to see an another overcast with patchy rain and drizzle. Mist low cloud and fog in places. Some sunny spells. With winds gusting 10 to 30 mph. Low pressure forms to the West of our islands on Thursday and low pressure will be the main theme of the weekend’s weather. On Friday an elongated area of low pressure will bring spells of rain to the Western Isles and Tiree. This will be heavy at times. Still some uncertainty on the exact position of the low pressure system. It will still be a fairly mild day. A whole heap of uncertainty with this weekend. It will very much depend on the position of the low pressure system. At the moment we are expecting to see sunshine and showers some decent and prolonged sunshine with variable amounts of cloud with winds gusting 40 mph. Next week and it is a long way off as yet but once again it looks like areas of low pressure will feed in further spells of rain and showers across the UK. Keeping the unsettled theme for us across our islands.

Good afternoon and welcome to your latest weather briefing from Western Isles Weather. Today is the Summer Solstice, yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far for Scotland and last night was a wet night for the West Coast of Scotland. This blog is also going to take a look at the upcoming weather for the islands.
Weather Outlook
In this section, we are going to discuss the upcoming weather for the islands in the coming days and at a long range. Wednesday we are likely to see patchy rain and drizzle with a mixture of sunshine and cloud. Some mist and low cloud at times with brisk winds. Winds gusting 30 mph with a high of 16C. Thursday a day of sunshine and cloud. Some rain could edge in the West coast as the day progress but the heaviest of the rain at this stage is expected to stay off shore. Again winds of 10 to 30 mph with a high of 16C. A slow moving frontal system sits to our West.
Moving towards the weekend and there is plenty of uncertainty and low pressure will be the dominating theme. The general consensus from the main forecast models is an area of low pressure close to the North West of the UK feeding in bands of rain and showers across the UK. Heavy showers and the chance of some longer spells of rain at times. In between some decent and prolonged sunshine. Winds gusting 40 mph as well. So yet again another fairly windy weekend. Nothing significant for us but noticeable in the middle of summer.
Next week and beyond. There have been some hints are things becoming more settled and drier as we head towards the end of the month and early July but a long way off as yet. Recent forecast model runs have suggested that next week will see more unsettled weather with more areas of low pressure moving across the UK with the hints of high pressure building not coming to fruition.

So we are on the count down back to winter after today with the nights slowly drawing in. It is the same joke that I make every single Summer Solstice. We will still see plenty of blue skies and sunshine and hopefully warmer weather but so far this year the late spring and early summer haven’t been great. We normally have a mixed bag of weather in summer anyway but this year feels worse but has it actually been worse?
One of the indicators that I go for is temperature. We haven’t seen an official 20C day yet during spring and summer so far this year. Quite often we would see a 20C by the end of May, especially at the South Uist site. Since 2015 we have seen 5 out of 7 years 20C happening before the end of May. 2015 was a later year with it being towards the end of August before the first 20C day.
Date of the first 20C of the year at Stornoway Airport and South Uist – as you can see it moves around a lot.
2021 SY 31st May – SU July 23rd
2020 SY 29th May – SU same date
2019 SY 25th July – SU May 28th
2018 SY 27th June – SU May 27th
2017 SY 26th May – SU May 25th
2016 SY 19th July – SU May 9th
2015 SY 23rd Aug – SU same date
We have also seen a lack of sunshine. May 2022 only had 105 hours of sunshine at Stornoway Airport which was just 52% of the long term average.
20th / 21st June rainfall
A Weather front brought rainfall across the Western Isles during the course of Monday into Tuesday. 12 mm of rainfall fell at Tiree and 9.4 mm of rain at South Uist. ( No data currently showing for Stornoway Airport). The 9.4 mm of rainfall at South Uist helped contribute to it being the wettest place in the UK on Monday.
Monday was a fine day for many, though rain started to move into the far northwest later 🌦️
Not significant amount of rainfall by any stretch but adds to the totals and continues the recent spell of dull and unsettled weather we have seen over the last couple of weeks.
Warmest day of the year for Scotland
Scotlands warmest day of the year so far occurred on Monday 20th June with 24.5C being recorded at Aboyne
Scotland has recorded 24.3C at Aboyne this afternoon, its warmest day of the year so far 🌡️ pic.twitter.com/QvcL9IqCO0
For us in the Western Isles and Tiree we were in the region of 8/9C cooler. In Stornoway, Tiree and South Uist all in the bottom 6 for the lowest maximum temperatures on Monday.
Good evening Western Isles on this Sunday evening we are seeing a mainly fine and dry evening with clear skies and cloud. Winds under 20 mph and today’s high of 13C
Overnight – Clear skies and cloud with some mist and fog in patches. Early morning sunny spells. Winds under 20 mph.
Morning – Sunshine and cloud with some mist and low cloud in patches.Some patchy rain and drizzle. Winds of 10 to 30 mph.

Good afternoon all. We are going to discuss the upcoming weather for the week ahead across the Western Isles. Covering any notable weather and general trends. Our normal week ahead forecast will be online this evening.
This week will see high pressure dominating across the UK but it will be a slack area of high pressure with shallow areas of low pressure. This will stop things from becoming too settled across the islands.
Monday will see a cold front move across the Western Isles. We will bring spells of rain heavy at times with plenty of cloud.
Into the middle of the week it will be breezy and fairly overcast with spells of rain and drizzle. Some sunshine at times.
Towards the end of the week shallow areas of low pressure will bring spells of rain and drizzle. Again plenty of cloud. Depending on the exact placement of the low pressure systems will determine how much rain we will see.
Next weekend is a long way off as yet but seems to be a good agreement that low pressure will dominate the weather bringing rounds of rain heavy at times. Not expecting strong winds with this.
Still no signs of us hitting 20C yet this year. Also, no real signs in the long range of us having a longer more prolonged settled spell as we head toward July.

A full week ahead forecast will follow later this evening. But first I thought I would just briefly look at a few discussion points regarding the week ahead.
The main theme will continue to be unsettled with rain showers and plenty of cloud.
No signs of higher temperatures for this part of the world. A lot of talk of heatwave conditions in the press and hotter weather. This is likely to be in the South for a period of time later in the week. But for us in the islands, there is no sign at this stage of the elusive 20C with a peak of 16C likely to be the max of the week.
The most notable weather event of the coming week is a low pressure system moving either close to or across our island from Thursday into Friday. Some quite heavy rainfall totals are shown by computer model runs. Both the EC and GFS are suggesting up to 20 to 25 mm for a 24 hour period up to Friday afternoon. Possibly up to 40 mm for some parts of Harris up to the end of the week. A long way off as yet but keeping my eye on.
Wanting more settled weather. There are some hints of more settled weather with high pressure building in later in the weekend and into the early night which would bring us some drier and more settled conditions. A long way off as yet but will keep you updated.
