katherine fletcher.k in parliament, but dojoin me on bbc parliament on monday night at 11 for the start of the new westminster week. but for now from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye. hello there. there's no sign of our weather settling down any time soon. and this weekend it stays certainly unsettled with cloud and rain on the way and there will be some strong winds as well, particularly as we head into sunday. scenes like these, i think, be quite commonplace over the next 2a hours. you can see extensive cloud racing then across the atlantic, but this area of cloud in the west atlantic — a puny area, a weak area of low pressure at the moment but it's going to rapidly deepen as it races towards the british isles and by sunday it will be bringing gales across northern areas. the winds strong enough to bring down some trees, so there is the risk of some transport disruption, particularly in the north. so this weekend, unsettled, windy, especially on sunday. rain at times. a lot of cloud around. 0ccasional brig

katherine fletcher. but dojoin me on bbc parliament on monday night at 11 for the start of the new westminster week. but for now from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye. hello. monday looks set to be a rather breezy day, but not quite as windy as it was on sunday, when we had scenes like this — gusts of 50mph or more across some parts of the uk, the sorts of winds that we would expect during autumn, but are pretty unusual during summer. the area of low pressure responsible still not too far away, sliding towards scandinavia. high pressure trying to build in from the south—west, but it's not going to be quite as windy as it has been through monday. still pretty blustery out there, i have to say. fewer showers but still some showers. those particularly affecting parts of scotland, northern england, maybe clipping into east wales, the midlands, certainly the eastern side of england and some for northern ireland as well. the further south and west you are, not as many showers, more dry weather and some spells of s
