Today:

Today will be very windy with Storm Éowyn expected to bring widespread disruption with potentially damaging winds in places. Early rain will clear to leave most parts dry into the day with brighter periods and hazy sunny spells. Feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Very windy in the north of the region at first but winds continuing to ease overnight. Largely dry with clear periods and turning cold with a rural frost likely. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Saturday:

Largely dry and bright. Still breezy but winds much lighter than on Friday. Showers likely overnight, perhaps wintry over higher ground. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

A bright start on Sunday but turning windier with the threat of rain and hill snow later. Changeable and showery on Monday and Tuesday. windy at times. Temperatures near average.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. On Tuesday another widely unsettled day is expected with showers or some longer spells of rain, but also some drier and brighter interludes. Still windy but less so than over the previous few days. Through the rest of the period the strongest winds and heaviest rain will tend to move to the northwestern UK while the south may see more in the way of drier weather. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
