Setting out from Kincardine toward Limekilns and Burntisland, the pattern is dull and changeable, with long overcast spells broken by drizzle or light rain. Temperatures sit around freezing to a few degrees above for much of this stretch. Colder snaps flip the showers to sleet or snow, then revert to patchy, mostly dry cloud.
Through Buckhaven and into the East Neuk around Elie, showery days are common. Much of the time it is overcast with light rain or drizzle, but heavier pulses move through on some days. Short, quieter spells offer drier walking before the next band arrives, and wintry showers remain possible.
Beyond St Andrews around Kingsbarns and Leuchars, the unsettled theme continues. There are periods of steady light rain and heavy drizzle, mixed with overcast lulls. When colder air returns, showers can turn slushy or snowy for a time.
Curving around Wormit Bay and up to Newburgh, it stays mostly cloudy and changeable. Showers alternate with longer dry but grey interludes, and rain is generally more likely than snow, though wintry bursts can still crop up. At times a more persistent spell brings a wet finish before conditions ease again.
