Mon 17 Mar Orkney & Shetland

The dominant area of high pressure will gradually drift away to the E of the UK through the early part of next week. So initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with plenty of sunshine by day, but still some noticeably chilly nights with frost fairly widespread. The odd fog patch is possible in the north, and a brisk breeze across the south will make it feel notably chilly here. Beyond that we will likely to see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers at times, mostly focussed across the south at first, then more widely later. With winds turning to the south it will become much milder, possibly very mild in places for a time.
