After a half decent day with areas of rain along with fairly warm sunshine, conditions are set to go somewhat downhill tonight as an area of low pressure moves up from the SW bringing one band of rain to the South and Southeast while another bands spreads across the North, drier in between. Tonight’s low will be mild at 12-16C.
Into Thursday and winds really pick up across the South up into the Midlands with gusts touching gale-force initially in the Southwest but as the lows tracks NE across the country, the core of strongest winds transfer east. The Channel coast could see gusts to 60+mph. The interior South may see gusts of 30-40 mph which may bring down tree branches. The worst of the rain will spread across Northern parts through the day with few showers across the South. Highs of 16-19C.

Following a wet night and shower day today, an area of very heavy rain will spread across the country tonight with strong to perhaps gale-force SW winds too. This rain shall be heavy and persistent for much of the night and so flooding may become a concern into tomorrow morning before it clears NE.
