Planning Outlook
An unsettled week ahead with low pressure facilitating periods of rain, showers, and a strengthening wind, as well as cooler temperatures. Rain spreads across most areas from the southwest on Monday, followed by showers on Tuesday, these showers perhaps turning into thunderstorms in central and east areas. The only settled window this week overnight into Wednesday, then more rain soon arrives from the west through Wednesday morning, spreading widely and with it gales likely over most hills as well except the far north of Scotland. Thursday and Friday remain showery and windy, nearly persistent rain and extensive low cloud northwest England and west Scotland, a few breaks in the east but showers always most widespread afternoon and even smaller hills seeing cloud over summits for periods.
