Mon 17 Feb Orkney & Shetland

Southeasterly winds are likely at the start of this period, with below average temperatures and often cloudy conditions. There are likely to be further wintry showers, especially in northeastern areas. Meanwhile, frontal zones, bringing milder conditions and rain, will attempt to move in from the west or southwest. If, or when, they push further northeastwards the chance of some snow or freezing rain increases. The transition between colder and milder conditions remains uncertain, but towards the end of this period, the milder, wetter conditions are likely to have spread across much of the country, and southwestern areas could become rather wet. The cold air will never be far away over the near continent and there's always a small risk that it could still flirt with eastern areas at times.
