Wednesday
Wednesday starts bright for many; some cloud and perhaps rain in the southeast of England from dawn, but this soon clearing. Staying very windy, particularly in Scotland where gales into the west coast are likely. In Scotland, on the wind, a constant stream of showers will arrive from the west and edge east into central areas, showers affecting the west of Ireland as well. Scattered showers in the northwest of England and west Wales too. Away from these areas, the day will be mostly sunny and windy. Highs at 8C to 10C for most, locally to 12C in the far southeast.

Wednesday Night
Winds widely strengthen overnight with cloud building for most areas, though much of central, south, and east England keeps clear skies for a time. Heavy rain arrives into Scotland from the northwest and will spread fairly widely across the country through the overnight hours. The rain reaches north and west Ireland too, with increasing rain in Cumbria and west Wales in the overnight hours too. Lows of 5 to 7C fairly widely.

Thursday
Staying windy with a risk of gales on Thursday. A band of heavy rain in Scotland slowly moves southward into northern England and Wales; Most west coastal areas from Wales northward will see a near-constant stream of rain most of the day, which gets heavier as the primary band passes southward. The rain only reaching south and east England late in the day, though showery rain may be blown here from the west in the strong wind. Showers follow into northwest Scotland and Ireland upon passage of the rain, a few bright spells to the east. Highs at 7C northern England and Scotland, though locally up to 9C far northeast Scotland; 12C in southern England.

Friday
Strong westerly winds across the Isles on Friday. Frequent showers in the west, some of which may turn wintry even down to lower levels at times. Further south and east there will be longer dry spells, although a few bands of showery rain will pass here as well. A chiller day, with some early frost possible in upland areas in the north. Highs of 9C in the south and 6C in the north.
