Large periods of rain to hit the north and north-east this week as high temperatures begin to fall

After weeks of what has felt like endless sunshine, the week ahead is set to rain on our parade.

With temperatures nearing the 30s, July has delivered the summer weather we’ve all been craving.

However, that isn’t due to last much longer.

There may have been a couple of drizzly spells here and there over the past few days, but otherwise it has been a long time since much of the region has had a large amount of rain.

Looking into the week ahead, that greyness that we know so well looks like it’s aiming for a comeback.

Forecast for the week

Today, July 26, is due to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures forecast to hit around 21C by 2pm.

It is expected to stay cloudy throughout the day however, with a few showers and only intermittent sunny spells in the evening.

From Tuesday, July 27, temperatures are due to drop a little, with highs of around 17C.

By the weekend, we can only expect temperatures to reach around 15C.

Every day of this week is forecast to have spells of both rain and sunshine.

Wednesday is currently due to be the wettest day, with 60% chance of rain across the region for the vast majority of the day.

Funnel clouds spotted

Change in weather conditions has caused phenomenon such as funnel clouds in recent days. 

A funnel cloud is not an everyday occurrence in Scotland but it is not uncommon to see them in Aberdeen and across the country.
