Today's Forecast

Dry with some brighter spells to start the afternoon, though turning cloudy and breezy (gusts 30-35mph) with rain by 1400. This will turn persistent and heavy at times before clearing by 2100 and winds will ease slightly too. It will be mostly dry overnight though there is a low risk of seeing a little patchy light rain or drizzle until 0300, with some clearer spells developing thereafter though RSTs will remain above freezing. Further rain will begin to push in from the west from 0700 Sunday morning. It will become very windy too by midday...

 

Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday)
Sunday A wet and windy day expected across the network. Risk of the odd shower overnight, otherwise staying largely dry, with a good deal of cloud. A further bout of cloud and rain will spread across the area during Monday morning (around dawn). A windy day for all, with gales expected at times, especially in exposed locations. Winds easing overnight.
