heavy rain also across parts of scotland lasting through to the evening.scotland. 0vernight tonight, some wet weather across parts of southern england, and a cold night with temperatures falling to freezing or a bit below that, we are likely to see some icy stretches taking us through to saturday morning. saturday thankfully a little quieter, the centre of storm eowyn has moved off to the north—east by this stage, still a bit of rain across parts of south—east england which should clear through the day. gales still expected across parts of northern and western scotland, perhaps first thing for northern ireland, too, but for most thankfully a much quieter and less windy day. more rain in the west later on, and feeling chilly — only around 6 or 7 degrees. more outbreaks of rain on the way for sunday, but thankfully the winds will not be as strong and as disruptive and dangerous as they are out there today. live from london, this is bbc news. collasped walls and trees on the railway, storm eowyn continue to batter ireland and the uk, bringing record gust of o

there will still be some showers and blustery conditions for conditions for northern scotland, and itnds pick up across england, wales, and northern ireland. gusts through the irish sea coast reaching around 60 to 70 miles an hour. winds that strong could topple one or two trees, bringing some localised disruption, but it won't be on the same scale of disruption that eowyn brought on friday. that really was an exceptional system. monday, the same area of low pressure is with us. we've still got further outbreaks of rain and the wind around coastal areas. it will be, i suppose, a fairly mild kind of day, but probably not feeling so, given the strength of those winds. by tuesday, a lot of the rain will start to work a little bit further northwards, affecting parts of scotland by this stage. but the worst of the weather should clear through from wales and south—west england. still a few showers left over, still breezy, but the worst of the wind, the worst of the rain should start to push away. temperatures ranging from around seven to ten degrees, so a few degrees above average for the t

i should mention the snow over scotland at the moment because it's quite dangerous. whether we're talking tiling floods or whatever. we know that the heat in the atmosphere is reaching a peak along with it in admissions, and at the moment, we're in this unknown territory and it's obviously quite scary. notjust in terms of meteorologist, but there's another dimension to it as well. that is the denier side. we have got to get away from denying things are not happening. climate change is not a normal process. people need to walk away and it's putting people in danger. it seems most people heeded the warnings, stayed in and safe. perhaps that's one of the reasons why we've only seen one death. . , reasons why we've only seen one death. ., , , ., reasons why we've only seen one death. .,, i. _ reasons why we've only seen one death. . , death. yet, as you say, except in the reality — death. yet, as you say, except in the reality of— death. yet, as you say, except in the reality of the _ death. yet, as you say, except in the reality of the science - in the reality of the sc

could well see some snow mixing in over high ground across some northern parts of scotland.at is heading our way on friday. now, to find out where storm eowyn is forming, we have to look out into the atlantic and look up to the jet stream. the winds high in the atmosphere, a jet stream level likely to exceed 250mph. so that extraordinarily strong jet stream providing the fuel, the energy to deepen this area of low pressure. this low will be deepening rapidly as it approaches our shores, and storm eowyn is likely to bring widespread gales, outbreaks of rain, some snow across the north. but it is across these irish sea coasts where, at the moment, it looks most likely that we could see wind gusts of 80 to possibly 90mph, maybe even stronger than that in the most exposed spots. 0bviously those winds could cause some damage and some significant disruption, and that does usher in a rather turbulent period of weather. there will be further spells of wind and rain in the days ahead. live from singapore, this is bbc news. president trump announces private sector investment of $500 b
