Bright and breezy

[Updated 09:15 22/10/2017]

Winds ease today as Storm Brian departs. Varied weather is expected through the coming week. Warmer conditions are likely to return for a time but by next weekend it could become colder.

Sunday begins windy and showery in the north and west. Elsewhere it is a bright. Through the day the showers fade away and it becomes mostly dry with sunny spells.

It will be cooler than recently in the south. Temperatures range from 10C (50F) in Scotland to 13C (55F) in the south. See the rainfall radar for the latest view.

Tonight another band of wet and windy weather pushes into western and central areas. The east probably remains dry until late on and with clear spells it will be cold.

Tomorrow morning rain affects the east as brighter weather returns into the west. Rain clears from the east in the afternoon to leave a mainly dry end to the day, although in the north west scattered showers are expected.

Another spell of rain pushes in from the west on Tuesday but it in southern counties it will be patchy. Winds strengthen and severe gales are possible in the far north.

The rest of the week looks interesting. During the middle of the week a warm southerly flow may develop. By the weekend there are indications of high pressure to the west of the UK opening the gates to the first northerly plunge of the season. That would lead to colder snap and the risk of snow possible over high ground in Scotland.
