Sunday night into Monday and possibly not clearing away until Tuesday is our first storm of the spring and since February!! On Sunday the area of low pressure will be tracking towards the UK from the South West however the current forecast takes it up from the South West and then throughout the day on Monday heading west aiming directly for central England and then out into the North sea by Tuesday effecting eastern portions of Scotland. Winds in the South of Britain could reach 70+mph (see alerts) and elsewhere 50-60mph is likely. Rain will be particularly heavy in the South West of England and could lead to some flooding here, and also eastern Scotland and Wales flooding isn't out of the question but it is less likely to occur. Everywhere will see some rain with the exceptions at the moment being North and West Scotland and majority of Northern Ireland and Ireland. We Will keep you updated if anything changes from this forecast! Update!!!
The timing of the storm has changed as it is expected to move through quicker, but with a greater intensity. The storm has started to move into the South West and throughout the night will track Northwest bringing the worst of the weather into Southeast England by dawn before moving out into the north sea by the Afternoon. The Worst of the rain and where we are most likely to see the flooding is in the Southeast, however due to the saturated nature of the ground in the South and Southwest flooding is also possible here. Rain is not expected to amount to much in Scotland or in North Wales or Northern Ireland as the rain is expected to miss here all together. The worst of the winds will be in the South and East where here 60-70mph is likely inland and 75+mph on exposed coasts and hills. Elsewhere isolated gusts of 40-50mph can't be ruled out. We will keep you updated if anything changes.
