It’s been a turbulent time for Northwest Europe with one low after the next sweeping hurricane-force winds and heavy, persistent rains off the Atlantic. The most recent system, Storm Gareth produced Cambeltown (Kintyre) strongest March gust (75 mph) since 1994. Great Dun Fell, Cumbria recorded a gust of 110 mph.

The remainder of the week remains the same with more lows pushing in.

As well as wet and windy this weekend, it could well be quite snowy, especially for south and central Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland as the centre of the low is expected to track across N England.

Once this low pushes east like the rest, higher pressure is expected to build and settle things down.
