once again, damaging winds to come across the uk. the met office has issued an amber weather warning as storm franklin arrives over the next few hours. the amber warning is for northern ireland, with gusts of winds potentially peaking in excess of 80 miles an hour at times. now, this is storm franklin, this area of low pressure is going to continue to drift its way between iceland and the far north of scotland. it is on the southern flank where we will see the tightest of the isobars. that means the strongest of the winds, as well. not only do we see strong winds, but we've also got some heavy rain and sharp showers moving through scotland, heavy persistent rain pushing out of southern scotland into northern england and wales, as well. so, the amber weather warning will remain in force until 7am on monday morning, with gusts of wind potentially 60—80 miles an hour, perhaps one or two stronger gusts in places, as well. that has the potential to cause some significant disruption first thing in the morning, and it's notjust for northern ireland. we are going to see strong

gale force gusts of wind through irish sea coasts, in excess quite widely of 60 miles an hour, in some places, 70—75 miles an hour, as well. with that rain, the temperatures are going to fall away, so it's going to be a chilly start to our monday morning, as well, just to add insult to injury. the rain, however, will move quite swiftly south and east, and as we go through the afternoon, it will be an improving picture. the winds will start to ease just a touch, gusting around about 35, a0 miles an hour in many places, and the showers will fade away allowing for some sunny spells to come through, and after that chilly start, temperatures will recover, to top out between 8 and i3 celsius. so, as we say goodbye to monday and head towards tuesday, there is another area of low pressure in a similar position up into the far north, and that is going to bring some very strong winds and some heavy rain yet again. the rain, though, will weaken as it moves south and east, and then allow for some sunshine to come through with a trail of scattered, possibly wintry showers, with elevation in the far

north—west of scotland. top temperatures once again between 5 and i3 celsius. as we move into wednesday, it does look likely that we will start to see fewer showers around, and slightly lighter winds, and hopefully some glimpses of sunshine from time to time.
