Southwesterly winds draw cloud and spells of rain across the British Isles, most often south and west.

Good morning,

The remnants of Storm Bram are lingering north of the British Isles today, and while it is weakening, a strong west-southwesterly wind will blow across all areas today with gales likely in northern areas, risk severe where exposed to the sea. Frequent showers will impact western areas from the morning with patches drifting further eastward into Ireland and Britain. The showers will tend to ease from the south as the day goes, though western Scotland (and particularly the northwest) will stay very wet likely all day. Increasingly bright in the south and east and perhaps becoming sunny. Remaining mild with highs of 8 to 11C, locally warmer in the southeast if sun breaks out.

The showers will continue to ease overnight but the southwesterly winds will remain strong and continue to push cloud and drizzle onto south and western coasts. Cloud will also increasingly be passing east again as more humid air pushes in. Winds will strengthen again in Ireland to gale force as a band of rain arrives from the west in the overnight hours. Lows of 5 to 8C - northeast parts of Scotland and England likely the warmest as the winds warm on their way down from the higher mountains.

Mild temperatures will be nice, but grab a shell - the wind will feel cool.
