gales, even severe gales, developing in northwest scotland, up to 70 mph winds here, but it will be ushering in some milder air, certainly for england and walest. further north, though, something a little bit cooler. so that cluster of weather fronts, strong winds, pushes through. we see a window of fine weather to start thursday, before the next weather system moves in during the day. so we will start with some sunshine across the country, but it won't last. as we head into the afternoon, we'll start to see the next batch of wet and windy weather pushing into northern and western areas. some heavy bursts of rain, as you can see there, across scotland, northern ireland, maybe northern england, and again, it'll be windy. but a mild day to come, with temperatures in double figures, for most, for thursday afternoon. so that moves through during thursday night, wet and windy weather. then we're in a run of north—westerly winds. it'll be quite cool, i think, feeding in some showers, mainly into northern and western parts of scotland. there will be a wintry element to them over the higher ground. it will turn cloudier, further south and east, and w
