day 20 winds



The change in the weather is well and truly upon us now with wet and windy conditions having swept into western areas overnight, and this wet weather will continue to spread further east/northeast as we go through today.

Many central and eastern areas are starting dry, if cloudy, and there's a fair old breeze blowing out there too, but it does mean a much milder start than recent days. Much of Scotland and eastern England will then see a mainly dry day with a few sunny spells, but for many areas, that rain in the southwest will take over. As the rain moves through, this will allow Ireland and southwest England to brighten up by this afternoon, although a few showers will still be likely. Temperatures will be near to normal for many parts, but feeling cooler in those brisk southerly winds.

The rain does look like reaching eastern areas by tonight, but there is still a little uncertainty about how far east the rain gets as the front bringing the rain looks set to stall. The extreme southeast may stay dry, but patches of rain are likely throughout the night for many central and eastern parts, with clearer skies and scattered showers further west.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, and further rain is expected to move northwards across central and eastern areas of Britain with the front very slow moving over these areas by then, and the rain could be heavy at times. Western areas will see a mixture of sunshine and heavy showers, perhaps with thunder, whilst temperatures will be close to or a tad above normal with the winds slowly easing a touch.
