In Kirkwall and, more broadly, across Orkney Islands: This evening, the sky will remain mostly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 13 to 15 degrees Celsius. Light rain may develop at times, with the total accumulation unlikely to exceed 0.1 mm, and the chance of rain is about 20%. Winds will be noticeable, coming from the southwest, gusting up to 41 mph and averaging around 26 mph. The breeze may make the evening feel cooler, particularly in exposed areas. Conditions are expected to remain unsettled through the night, with the possibility of further brief showers. It’s advisable to keep an umbrella or waterproofs handy if you plan to be outdoors. Temperatures will stay relatively mild, but the strong gusts could cause some disruption in outdoor activities.
