hello. the weather conditions continue to deteriorate across many parts of the uk, but especially out towards the west as storm darragh begins to batter the uk and ireland. the red warning of wind from the met office has been issued for parts of wales and also parts of southwestern england, and is valid from 3am on saturday to 11am on saturday. that's when the peak of the winds will occur — danger to life, travel disruption, power cuts, and ferocious conditions out to sea — winds could be gusting to around 90 miles an hour. now, rest of the day, a much wider amber warning will also be in force across many western parts of the uk, with winds up to about 80 miles an hour, also bringing damage and disruption and nasty conditions around coastal areas as well. on top of that, heavy rain is expected across southern parts of wales. throughout this period here, the amber warning is in force and we could see as

much as 90mm of rain. so let's have a look at the weather map, then. here's that circular storm with the pressure lines, storm darragh, as it barrels across the uk. in the centre of the storm, it's calm, so there will be a period of calm, for example, across northern england and eastern england before the winds start picking up as we head towards lunchtime. now, the peak of the winds will start to ease out towards the west, but they will be picking up across central and eastern parts of the country, so 50, 60 mile an hour gusts are certainly possible, bringing disruption and also the potential for damage — again, some trees down, perhaps damage to buildings as well. and then we have to wait until early sunday before the winds really start to die down. so storm daragh will move into the near continent, still a big pressure gradient here, you can see these isobars are tightly packed, so gale force winds will be certainly around coasts with some rain showers. but out towards the west, the sun should come out, the winds will ease and it'll actually be, relatively speaking, a pleasant end

to sunday — temperatures will be around single figures on sunday. and then eventually sunday into monday, a high pressure topples over the uk, nasty conditions in the mediterranean, but we've got that high pressure, and that means some sunshine and much calmer weather. do take care wherever you are.
