five years ago. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, gavin ramjaun, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello. sunday was a pleasant day across many parts of the british isles. a number of rainbows, this one across dartmoor for a time, through the afternoon. but things are going to change really radically. start of the week, very windy, really very wet indeed for a time. the weather coming in from the west to south—west for the greater part of the week so it will be mild though it won't seem like that to start the new day on monday. not many of you scraping the windscreens. temperatures in the range of one to about six, but the reason for the change, a very deep area of low pressure. central pressure around

about 940 millibars — that is very deep indeed and that means a lot of wind and that is the first thing you will notice about monday and increasingly through the day out west, through northern ireland, and then increasingly towards the estern side of scotland, through wales, down into the south—west of england. very wet weather indeed. it takes time before we see that rain over towards the east. a bit of brightness here. you will lose it slowly. 10 degrees or so but it is the strength of the wind that we have to concentrate on. as much as 65 mph out through the irish sea. maybe 70mph up the estern side of the british isles. 45mph increasing to 70mph. and look at this, before the day is done, we could record a gust of wind to 85mph, so that's going to be hugely disruptive to travel plans and it is the sort of day where you might lose the power if a tree comes down in the wrong place. that rain pours away, the low pressure is still there or thereabouts. the wind incessant across the northern part of the british isles through the night. and then here we are on tuesday, a dry enough start for many. showers across the west of scotland. and then another pulse of mild air, bringing rain up and across a good part of england and wales and northern ireland.
1:57 am
as it runs into the cooler air, some hill snow for scotland but notice, 13—14 degrees but again a gusty wind — 50—60mph. we could do with a break by this stage and it comes in the form of wednesday. yes, the wind is still a feature. really squally showers across northern and north—western parts of scotland but, once the rain is away from the south—east, it is a quieter day and a drier day as well, with some sunshine and feeling just that tad fresher. but the thing you will be really pleased about is that the wind will have eased at least for a time, because here we go again on thursday. new set of weather fronts. isobars squeezing up. the wind coming in from the south this time. still plenty of it and some really quite heavy rain, flirting with the western side of the british isles. and then through the day, gradually pulses of rain spreading just that little bit further towards the east. and it is as far ahead as friday before we see the first signs of a little ridge of high pressure moving in from the atlantic 00:12:58,268 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 to quieten things down.
