Low pressure NW of Scotland continues to bring breezy, showery conditions to northern and western UK today with driest, brightest and warmest in southern and eastern areas. In fact eastern Britain shall enjoy another reasonably warm mid August day with highs of around 24C in London, 22C in parts of eastern Grampian and perhaps along the Moray Coast. Fresher, breezier with more showers yet still pleasant in the NW with 20C Belfast 19C Glasgow, 17C Stornoway.

Tonight into tomorrow shall see another wave of rain rotate around a secondary low which shall form off the main low passing N Scotland today. Winds are expected to strengthen in the north and west tomorrow and it shall be fresher for all.

As we progress into the weekend, it’s a decent end to the working week and start to the weekend but we’re keeping an eye on Hurricane Gert. Currently circling the western flank of the Bermuda high as a Cat 2, 105 mph storm.

Gert shall begin to weaken today as he begins to feel the upper westerlies and waters cool eventually transitioning from tropical to baroclinic and merging with a low coming off Canada.

The Met Office maps show Gert transitioning and accelerating towards the UK while we’re beneath a cool NW flow in the wake of the late week system.

Looks wet and windy Monday with remnants of Gert overhead!
