Dalbeattie should prepare for a damp and breezy day as weak fronts drift across the Solway Firth. The live forecast above tracks the rain bands approaching from the Irish Sea, with drier intervals expected by late afternoon.

What is the outlook for Dalbeattie today?

Conditions will remain unsettled through the morning as cloud thickens from the southwest. The live forecast above shows the timing of the brightest spells, though the breeze off the Solway will keep it feeling cool. Roads on the approach to the A711 may be slippery where showers linger.

How might the week develop for Dalbeattie?

Low pressure lingers near southwest Scotland, so further showers are likely midweek.
