A sharp hail shower just slowly easing now after around half an hour. Temp dropped 4C since it started. Wind now ENE and temp 6C. More to come maybe looking at the radar.

Served me right for watering the grass earlier this afternoon.

Very promising runs today from the models. Things look set to turn warmer from next Monday as high pressure moves in from the south ☀️

There is the potential for some very warm weather next week. We could go from snow this week to 25 next week in some places.

Before we get too excited, it is still in the mid-long range, so there will be changes. High pressure is likely though and there have been clear indications of this in the past few model runs.

Another cold and showery day in prospect, only 6c at the moment in light variable winds.

Been a lot of hail the last few days, something that is normally not that common here - good covering from the last shower....

Could do with the weather warming up though, was supposed to be getting the exterior of the house painted this week but painter has postponed the work as its too cold for the paint to set properly (apparently needs 10c+ for the water based paint we've gone for).

here is the table view of the 2m temps for your area from the GEFS http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gefs_table.php?x=0&y=0&lat=57.186089&lon=-2.499&run=6&ext=fr&mode=7&sort=0 looks like around mid month before temps frequently 10C + but worth keeping an eye on, GFS has looked better recently with a few runs having a "plume" type look about them - recent run from the GEFS showing the + 12 850 temps reaching even this far north. gens-17-0-216.png

A picture of the Glenlyon hills taken from Aberfeldy this morning shows the snow line well down the hills for May. Not likely to change much in the next few days but temps likely to creep up from the weekend. Here cool again with a few light showers passing by. 8C

Yes some very welcome precipitation inland last night but not  really anything here near the coast. Fire is still burning to the SE of me and rain will be helpfull but need days of it as peat is now alight and with up to five feet of it may burn for years.Keepers going round looking for mini volcanos on the peat and trying to damp them down with i.b.c."s full of water. The degree of dryness in this area is a real concern now. Currently dull and 5c

Cauld, wet and dreich about covers it. Currently 5.4C/4C after an overnight low of 4.1C. At least we've (narrowly) avoided an air frost during this cauld snap. Snaw back on the hills. *sigh * If only it were January...

However, it improves from Saturday onwards and next week is looking toasty and braw. ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

A cold and wet day here. Steady rain at 6C. The 21.3mms so far makes this the wettest day here this year and it is not forecast to stop until after midnight.☔

A cold wet morning and early afternoon with a maximum temperature of 6c.

Dry now and even a few glimpses of blue sky to be seen though no sunshine.

A stiff ENE breeze makes it feel particularly parky outside.

If the forecasts from the various sites are to be believed, only light showers from now on into the foreseeable and a big jump in temperature into next week - that will feel most welcome after this week+ period of winter

High pressure moving to the East and light winds from the South / South East means sheltered North Western parts of the UK will do well. Warm air coming North on the West side of the high Quite common in late Spring with May often bringing the best weather to parts of the North West and the Western Isles.   A little bit of Foehn effect as well for areas to the West or North of any hills. If the winds are more SSW to SW then the warmest parts may move round to the Moray Firth or inland Aberdeenshire.

Actually this last week has felt  normal just like an old fashioned spring and in a previous year of extreme dry weather is  also a bit reassuring. Have often put out cattle in late April to be followed  by a few days of snow showers. In fact this switching  between winter and spring can carry on into June. Have often been frozen in the old tractor sowing neeps in the last week of May. Only a bit of light rain today but cool.Spring barley showing signs of cold stress and drought. Will probably give it a copper/magnesium trace element spray in the next week to help it  along as its too cold for the plant to take up these elements from the soil. A true  fresh NE wind this evening, very cool at 6c. A real spring synoptic

The rain just hasn’t stopped here for 27 / 28 hours. Still steady now but a little bit lighter this evening. 33mms so far today plus a few mms yesterday evening means this is by far the wettest spell this year.  A max of 6.4C is also pretty cold for this location in May, not helped by the fresh to strong Easterly wind.

GFS18 is seriously downgrading the airmass temperatures for the beginning of next week. I mentioned this could happen a few days ago. 

It will feel warm after this week's weather, but I wouldn't expect high temperatures to be reached like in April. 

Around 16/17C highs near the east coast, warmer to the west with 18-20C.

South-eastern winds are likely to develop within the area of high pressure, making it feel cooler in the east as a consequence

Another downgrade, some coastal areas getting highs of just 7C. 

Edinburgh maximum is about 13 on Monday, dropping to around 10 tops in the next days. Cold eastern winds with low clouds at times too

Looks great in the West at least. (Usual for May)

Although not as hot as previously suggested...I will take 17 degrees for a few days. (30 degrees in June and July would be nice)

Hottest areas in Scotland looks like Aviemore, Kinloss and the usual areas in this setup.
