Wanted - Weather Forecast for Scotland
As title really! Given that the BBC's weather reports refer to Birmingham as "the North" I'm looking for some idea of what
the weather is going to be like this weekend from some locals!
Specifically, Friday (driving from Newcastle to Fort William), Saturday (climbing Ben Nevis), and Sunday (driving home).
The BEEB puts it as light showers / light rain all weekend, which kind of rules out taking the Indy.
Any advice from guys on the ground up there?
Cheers
Mike

Trouble is, John, that metcheck always seems overoptimistic... I still remember Detling, and the metcheck forecast for this Sunday's Newlands
meeting is the only one that doesn't forecast rain

It's Scotland for god's sake!!!
The only way you know it's summer is that the rain's warm....

That link takes you to a site that's usually correct.
If you go to the map showing uk precipitation, you'll see some showers on Saturday, Sunday morning clear, but get yourself home before the
afternoon rain.
Cheers,
Syd,
