Looking at the live forecast above and the latest Met Office data, the next 14 days for Scotland bring a classic mixed bag: unsettled at first with rain in the west and on higher ground, then turning drier and brighter for most by the second week, though always cooler in the north.
What is the weather in Scotland looking like for the next two weeks?
The first week sees low pressure lingering near the northwest, bringing frequent showers to the Highlands and western isles. Eastern and southern areas, including Edinburgh and the Borders, will see longer dry spells. Into the second week, high pressure builds from the south, meaning more settled conditions for most, with lighter winds and some decent sunshine, particularly for central and eastern regions. Temperatures will hover near average for late spring, typically 11–15°C in the lowlands.
Will it be wetter or drier than usual across Scotland?
For the first seven days, rainfall totals are likely to be above average in the west, especially Argyll and the northwest Highlands. The east, from Aberdeen down to Fife, should see near or slightly below-average rainfall. The second week looks drier nationwide as the high pressure takes hold, though the far north may still catch a few passing showers. If you are planning a trip, the second half of the fortnight offers the best window for outdoor plans.
