Unsettled weather continues with sunshine, showers and heavier spells of wind and rain

Monday and Tuesday are expected to be the best days of the week, before things turn wetter and windier from midweek.

Today (Monday), showers will develop across western areas, while eastern parts remain largely dry with sunny spells. It will feel cooler than the weekend, with breezy conditions in the northwest and lighter winds elsewhere.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) a new area of low-pressure approaches from the west, bringing rain to western areas through the morning. This will ease to showers later in the day and away from this, there will be variable cloud and scattered light showers. Temperatures remain near average for the time of year.

Wetter, windier and cooler from midweek

Wednesday will bring a broadly wet day for many, with areas of rain and showers gradually spreading east/north-east, perhaps turning heavy on some south facing hills in Scotland in particular. Things will remain fine ahead of this in the east at first though it will turn increasingly showery, with rain not arriving until after dark. Winds will pick up a notch and may be strong around Irish Sea coasts, with the risk of gales on exposed northwestern coasts and hills in the north

More sunshine and blustery showers on Thursday, with the chance that some may turn heavy and thundery, particularly in the south and west. Winds will again, be brisk, especially near the coast.

Friday will be similar day to Thursday - widely breezy and cool with frequent showers in western coastal areas becoming more widespread by day before falling back to the coast by evening. There's also the risk of thunderstorms and small hail in the heaviest showers.

Storm Amy at the weekend?

Saturday continues the theme of sunshine and showers, with a chance of heavier rain moving across southern areas. But, it's a deepening area of low-pressure that has caused the media to ask - is Storm Amy (the first name of the new 2025/26 storm naming list) set to affect us at the weekend?

Deputy Chief Meteorologist Tom Crabtree explains: "We are keeping an eye on a deepening area of low-pressure which will develop over the North Atlantic during the coming days and might bring impactful weather to the UK, most likely on Sunday and Monday.

"At present, it's too early to say the precise impact this might have on the weather, but it's likely to bring widespread heavy rain and strong winds, most probably to the north of the UK.

"We are closely monitoring what the various computer models are suggesting and will keep people updated as our forecasts evolve over the next few days."
