Lots of cloud, patchy rain in northern England and Ireland, brighter in northeast Scotland

Certainly a colder feel to the weather this morning for most of us as a strong northwest wind has become established across the country. A mix of sunshine and showers is ahead with most of the showers around windward facing coasts and hills. Some of the showers will be wintry with hail and thunder possible. Sunny spells too.

The sunshine and showers theme continues this afternoon. Most of them again in the north and west but just about anywhere seeing them. Hail and thunder may occur, and at times there could be whiteout conditions over the mountains of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northwest England and north Wales. The winds at gale force north and west. Feeling cold.

The showers continue this evening before easing overnight. A few showers continues around western. northern and eastern coasts and again these will be wintry. Drier in other areas with some clearer skies and the risk of a frost in sheltered areas by morning as the winds ease.
