An improvement on recent days, though still rather unsettled. We now have winds from a W quarter & though fairly light at present, they may increase somewhat, becoming quite gusty (50mph gusts are forecast for the Dundee area).  It will be generally rather cloudy, though there should be some dry spells & even the sun may appear briefly. However, there are quite a lot of showers around too & the odd one may well affect this area. Overnight, it will be a little colder than of late.
