Monday 13/3/23
An unsettled day on Monday with high winds, gales to strong gale force for some. Heavy showers as well as longer spells of rain affecting many with limited sunny spells, though the rain does look to start to clear from the west later on with drier and brighter weather here. Generally milder temperatures with highs around 8 to 15C though cooler air starts to push in across northern Scotland later.

Tuesday 14/3/23
With the airflow turning back round from the north briefly come Tuesday, expect a cold and frosty start for many in the north. A chillier day for all generally. Strong winds are expected to gradually ease though staying brisk in the north and east. A bright day with plenty of sunshine though with showers and in that colder northerly air the showers are likely to be wintry in the north and over higher ground. Highs at 7 to 13C, colder across northern Scotland.

Wednesday 15/3/23
Another frosty start for some again on Wednesday where it looks to be a dry and fine day for many in the north and east with sunshine though chilly. Cloudy and turning progressively wet across the south and west. Highs at 4 to 7 for most, though milder air starts to push in from the SW with highs here at 11C.
