Winds will still be strong gusting 40 to 50 mph with some spots reaching 60 mph.

Whilst much of the south will have another mostly fine week, it will begin to feel more like #autumn in many northern areas 🍂 🍃

A series of low pressure systems will slide between Iceland and Scotland, bringing strong #winds at times and giving a risk of gales in places ⚠️ pic.twitter.com/nQzk1f1Mkb
