After nearly two months away from the BBC Scotland weather map, it was nice to be back tonight and bring with me news of high pressure and fine autumn weather on the horizon☀️
BBC Scotland Weather@BBCScotWeatherOct 15
The latest on the weather front, with Calum. Sunny spells and scattered heavy showers tomorrow, showers mainly in the north and west. High pressure building overhead for the weekend bringing fine, sunny conditions, but with cold and frosty dawns.

Just look and LISTEN to her go - not bad for an 80-year old (almost). Volume up to the max and hear those paddles beat as she speeds past Custom House Quay. Recorded at Greenock - Tuesday 11th August 2026. @greenocktele ❤️🤍🖤🚢

Heading out to the countryside? 🌄 Spotted a handy little layby? Not so fast! If it’s a passing place, don’t park there. You might be stopping someone else from getting through! More information on country road travel can be found here 👉 bit.ly/3TAQqV3

The devastating fires in the Cairngorms are heartbreaking to see with the fires so bad the smoke can be seen & smelt in Aberdeen over 50 miles away 🔥 We can only hope there will be no fatalities & think of all the people affected in this awful tragedy 😔
