Southeasterly 15mph, some lighter winds east of M74. Rising to 20-25mph later, strong gusts around western low slopes.
Mostly small, comfortable walking becoming affected in Galloway later, notably buffeting gusts.
Substantially dry
Chance of a few local spots of light rain later in the day in Galloway, otherwise dry.
Morning low fog east soon clears
Fog on the low slopes of the Pentlands at dawn, possibly some patches on low slopes of Cheviots as well, fading for cloud-free hills. Small chance of local fog patches returning to low easternmost hills as night falls.
Above 90%
Sun early, soon often weakened or at times shrouded by high cloud. Excellent visibility.
17 or 18C most of the day. Easternmost Pentlands/Cheviots may be a degree cooler.
Above the summits
Very warm or hot conditions this weekend in the mountains and the valleys, with extreme risk of wildfire in Scotland; beware dehydration and sunburn. Light winds and very little cloud. Low pressure returns late Sunday into Monday bringing rain to most, risk heavy or thunderstorms north England and Scotland. Temperatures will cool towards average and often raining for the first half of the week. Becoming more mixed from mid-week as pressure goes slack and Atlantic fronts make only weak pushes from the west. Patchy rain and cloud will come and go with the best opportunities for sun in north and western areas.
