Welcome to Britain's
most remote
- though far from
isolated -
inhabited island!
An adventure getting
here,
sometimes hard to leave,
but always an
individual welcome!
In reality virtually unforgettable!
'A Time to Keep'
songs by Lise Sinclair based on the short stories by George Mackay Brown
Fair Isle Area
Weather Forecast
Pressure building across the Northern Isles during the next few days, with a large anticyclone expected to become slow-moving to the north of Shetland by next week, will bring a fine spell of weather. However, it will remain cool with no sign of any late spring warmth as the position of the high means it will be drawing air down across our area from high latitudes.
Bright with scattered showers at first today, becoming mainly dry later. A fresh N’ly breeze for Shetland, lighter winds elsewhere. Mainly dry with clear spells tonight. A local grass frost for places sheltered from the moderate N’ly wind.
A mostly dry and bright day with light winds on Friday. A fine cool night with a touch of grass frost.
Remaining dry through the weekend. With light winds it will feel pleasant enough in the sunshine, but nights will be cool with a grass frost likely.
Little change is expected through next week. Peasant in the sunshine sheltered from a chilly E to NE’ly breeze off a cold sea. Risk of frosts at night.
Sea State Next Three Days
Mostly becoming moderate to slight.
