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.

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.
