and windy weather overnight and into wednesday, as well. now, it's not been that windy in scotland today, but things will change overnight as heavy rain moves in here and the winds really strengthen. it's going to be a gu5ty night for the vast majority and very mild 15 or 16 degrees. but these strong winds have the potential to cause some problems where the irish sea coa5t5 in wales, gu5t5 of 60 to 70 miles an hour tomorrow morning. again likely to lead to some disruption. inland gu5t5 more like 40, 50, maybe a bit stronger than that in terms of miles an hour — strong enough to cause one or two issues. and we've got similar wind speeds for northern ireland and for scotland, the strongest wind5 working into we5tern scotland where again, we could see gu5t5 of around 60 to 70 miles an hour. now, once this band of really heavy, squally rain has moved through, the winds actually will drop pretty quickly behind it across the midlands, wales and western areas of england. so you will know when that weather front has pushed its way through. now by thursday, the area of low pressure becomes slow moving

to the north of scotland. it will be bringing a band of heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland with gale force gusts of wind here. england, wales, the winds calming down a bit, but it is an unsettled day, a day of sunny spells and heavy showers, probably some thunderstorms mixed in with those. and there's a tendency for temperatures just to edge down a degree or two. that continues to be the case into friday. again, an unsettled day, the same low pressure still there, still with those strong north—westerly winds showers most frequent across northern and western areas, but a few getting blown into central and eastern portions of the uk as well. so nowhere is immune from seeing an odd downpour and those temperatures just edging back a little bit closer to average for the time of year. now, this weekend, saturday's the better of the two days, dry and sunny for most of the day. bit of rain returning later on in the west, but we're back to wet and windy conditions by sunday.
