Tomorrow brings a similar pattern — highs near 7°C with a 60–70% chance of light rain by lunchtime. Overnight frost is unlikely but not ruled out if skies clear after dark. Into the weekend, a weak ridge builds from the west, meaning drier conditions and highs creeping toward 10°C by Sunday. That makes Saturday the better day for a hill walk or cycle along the Speyside Way. For a full view, check our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page.
