hello. for the second evening in a row, we have seen gusts over 70mph in west wales. of course, on saturday evening, it was storm elin that brought the very strong winds — whereas on thursday evening, it was storm fergus, with a top of 74mph recorded at aberdaron. now those blustery conditions will tend to ease over the next few hours, with the winds picking up across the midlands, east anglia, and southern counties of england — might be strong enough to wake you from your slumbers. further north, the winds will be that bit lighter, and it's here where we will see the lowest temperatures. in scotland, 2—5 celsius, otherwise the winds keeping those temperatures up for northern ireland, england, and wales, so between 6—9 celsius. so quite a mild start to the day on monday. now monday, any rain left over across eastern england will be clearing pretty quickly, but there will be some patches of light rain coming and going through the day across eastern scotland. some showers work in across merseyside, greater manchester, and north—west midlands — but otherwise, it's a day where the weather will continue to get brighter and brighter with sunny spells breaking out widely, and those temperatures lifting in places into double figures. make the most of that relatively quiet spell because,

1:57 am
could turn to snow for a time over the hills above 300 metres' elevation. the snow is short—lived — it will turn back to rain as slightly milder air begins to push in off the atlantic once again. that damp weather then continues eastwards on thursday. high pressure then takes over, giving us quite a long spell of dry and sunny weather. we have to wait until friday to see the best of that.
