Planning Outlook
Unsettled south-southwesterlies through midweek, periods of heavy rain widespread, further flooding for Wales, the Lakes and southwest Scotland. Mountain gales on Tuesday for England, Wales, S & E Scotland. Cooler than recently in Scotland, but still generally mild England and Wales by day and night. Later in the week, colder air pushes into Scotland, dropping below freezing over the mountains, with some snow over higher terrain in the Highlands on Thursday-Friday; strong to gale force easterly winds develop widely. Colder northeasterly air is expected to become more widespread into the weekend and next week.
