Scotland

It was the first ‘stormy’ day of autumn across Scotland yesterday with winds topping 100 mph on top of Cairngorm Summit, widely in the 40-50 mph range at lower levels which brought some tree branches down.

Winds remain strong today out of the WNW and it’s feeling cold in that wind with frequent blustery showers. Highs well supressed with the feed of cold air straight from Greenland and Iceland, highs of 8-12C.

Through tonight and it remains chilly and blustery with more showers feeding in and winds remain strongest in the far North with gusts to 70 mph possible over Orkney and Shetland. Overnight lows of 3-7C.

Tuesday will be similar to today with sunshine and blustery showers, possibly falling as snow over the tops of the mountains. Highs of 9-13C, winds a touch lighter but it remains blustery.

Wednesday should see less wind but more showers feed in from the west.

England

It’s been a cold, windy, showery day, especially the further north you were. Highs remained well down on recent times at 9-12C, feeling cooler than that in the brisk wind.

Through tonight and showers ease and it will turn clearer but winds remain fresh to strong blowing out of the NW. Overnight lows could well be coolest in the South rather than north as winds are a touch lighter here. 6-8C, locally 2-4C in sheltered rural areas.

Tuesday starts off decent, albeit cold and blustery but through the morning, cloud thickens and rain spreads in across the South and south Midlands, spreading east through the day. It should be drier and somewhat brighter in the North say from Manchester up to Carlisle. Highs will struggle at between 9-12C but in the Southwest where the rain clears through the afternoon, it may creep into the 16 or 17C range.

Drier and brighter Wednesday.

Wales

It’s been a wet, windy day with more sunshine and showers through the afternoon with highs well down on recent times at between 8-12C. Tonight will see winds remaining brisk or strong, especially in the North where gales will continue but showers ease across the country. Overnight lows drop to between 8-10C.

By dawn Tuesday more rain spreads in from the Irish Sea and that sets the stage for a rather dreary day with plenty of rain widely and it will stay blustery and chilly but rain should clear late afternoon, especially in the South. With any brightness, temps may creep to around 16 or 17C, widely 9-14C.

Wednesday looks much drier and brighter.

Northern Ireland

It’s a cold, blustery and showery end to your Monday across Ulster and tonight shall be no different though showers should ease overnight. Lows dip to between 8-10C.

Through Tuesday and more rain spreads in from the west crossing the country. Winds should ease through the day and by mid afternoon, the rain should have cleared out, perhaps allowing some late day brightness. Highs range between 9-12C.

Wednesday looks drier and brighter with warmer temps.

Ireland

It’s been a cold, showery, windy start to the new week across the Republic and tonight sees yet another band of heavy rain sweep in from the Atlantic. This band could bring some local flooding and it will feel raw in the brisk west wind. Lows dip to between 9-12C.

Tuesday starts off wet and blustery but through the day, conditions should improve with most places turning dry by dinnertime. Highs range between 10-16C.

Wednesday looks much better with drier, brighter and warmer weather.
