Monday – low pressure starts to dominate our weather. We are going to see heavy rain move across the island in bands with some drier spells in between. Winds are going to gust 20 to 30 mph. The area of low pressure will be centred to the South West of the UK 987mb. With extended weather fitns bringing us rain. The winds wont be to strong as the isobars aren’t massively packed together.

The very strongest winds are expected to stay out to sea. Winds gusting 30 to 40 mph from the East and North East. The low pressure sits off Ireland 978 mb.
Wednesday – Multiple areas of low pressure one in the Irish sea and one on the South East of England. For the Western Isles. Brisk Northerly winds. Some early morning rain but becoming largely fine and dry later. Winds gusting 30 to 40 mph and it will feel chilly in the brisk winds.
