Wet and windy, widespread gales

A wet and windy morning for much of the British isles. The rain heaviest in Scotland and western parts of England and Wales. Severe gales affecting many areas too with gusts of winds over 60mph.

Further rain and showers this afternoon and staying windy. Heavy rain for Orkney and Shetland with a risk of some localised flooding. Probably less showers in eastern Ireland but heavy showers north and west. The showers merging to longer spells of rain in central and southern England at times.

Tonight sees the winds slowly easing although gales remain in Scotland. Rain in the far west of Scotland with some showers over western coasts and hills of England and Wales. Dry in the east, brighter spells here as well.
