Wednesday
A fair morning on Wednesday with dry weather and some sunny spells for most. Further rain/sleet falls in northeast Scotland as a new area of showery rain reaches the far south of Ireland and southwest England by late morning. This rain area then tracks north into the afternoon mainly southern and eastern Ireland (where it will also be windy), but also affecting southwest England and Wales as well. Staying wet in eastern Scotland, Shetland, and Orkney. Other areas dry with the best sunny spells in northern England and western Scotland in the afternoon. Winds becoming strong to gale force in Ireland, Wales and southwest England later. Highs at 6 to 8C for most but 10C in the far southwest.

Wednesday Night
The south-southeasterly wind continues blowing across Ireland and western Britain, with showers continue to affect Ireland and the far southwest. Less windy to the east though often cloudy with patchy rain in northeast England and east Scotland, falling as sleet on upland areas. The rain most frequent in northeast Scotland, Orkney, and Shetland. Frosts developing in well-inland and upland areas, though some lows at 4C along coasts in the wind.
