Tonight wet and windy weather pushes across Northern Ireland and into western Britain. Gales develop in western coastal counties as Storm Ashley approaches. To the east it remains dry. 

Tomorrow the band of rain clears eastwards to leave sunny spells and blustery showers. In the north west more prolonged outbreaks of rain return as the centre of Storm Ashley tracks close to northern Scotland. It will be very windy in the northern half of the UK. In north western coastal counties gusts of around 80mph are possible.

Mixed start to the week

Next week starts on a mixed note. There could be heavy outbreaks of rain in southern and central regions to begin with, but in the following days high pressure is likely to have more influence in the south. Therefore, the wettest conditions can be expected in the north and particularly the north west. With winds coming from the west or southwest temperatures are likely to be close to or above the seasonal average for most of the time.
