The Met Office's favourite euphemism is, or was (I've long since stopped listening), "unsettled". That means bad, rainy. It could have been raining steadily for forty days and forty nights and they'd still say "unsettled".
OTOH,if it's being sunny for the same period, the forecasts reluctantly acknowledge the anomaly but keep foretelling rain (as I remember from the Great Drought of 1976).
And in Glasgow it is ... wet and windy... equally predictable! :-)
