day 23 winds



A lot of bright weather around today with some sunny spells as we have something of a rest bite from the unsettled conditions. However, it won't be completely dry as there will be a scattering of showers across Britain and Ireland.

Low pressure is still sat out in the Atlantic, and is busy preparing the next batch of wind and rain to throw across the country tomorrow, but for today it isn't looking too bad. There are a number of showers around this morning, mainly around southern and western coasts, whilst many inland areas are starting off misty with plenty of low cloud around. Meanwhile, towards Scotland, its a damp start to the day with some drizzly rain around - the remnants of the heavy rain of the last couple of days which brought over 3 inches of rain to some parts.

As we go through the morning, most places will see some sunny spells breaking through at times, but showers will break out - mainly from the Midlands northwards. A few will be on the heavy side, and with light winds they will be quite slow moving. It will be a mild day everywhere, with temperatures into the mid teens for many.

Later today, cloud will thicken towards southwest England and Ireland, and rain will move in by dusk as the next system begins to make inroads. The rain will really set in overnight and into the first half of Saturday across the southwest, before making its way north-eastwards across all parts during the day on Saturday - please see our weather warning for eastern Scotland where another large fall of rain is expected. It will also become very windy, with local gales, whilst brighter and showery conditions will follow the rain into the southwest by the afternoon. Sunday looks much brighter across central and southern parts, but Scotland will see more rain and very strong winds.
