South or southwesterly, 10 to 20mph
Fairly small
Heavy rain on and off; risk thunder
Areas of rain will continue to rotate around low pressure, on and off through the day. Heavy bursts sometimes merging into rain for an hour or more. Risk of hail and thunder.
Fairly extensive, lowest in rain
Cloud often shrouding highest terrain throughout the day, occasionally clearing above 600m. During and after rain, patches forming to lowest slopes for periods, especially in west.
40%
Mostly cloudy, a little sun. Visibility sometimes good, but very poor during rain.
4C rising to 8C
Rising from 5C at dawn, to 15C by afternoon.
Low pressure will continue to dominate the weather pattern into next week. Little change to recent patterns, with areas of slow-moving showers and thunderstorms with hail, typically most widespread in the afternoons. As the remnants of fronts circulate slowly across Britain, the intensity and extent of showers will vary from day to day, in places merging to give a few hours of constant rain, but nearby escaping drier. Winds often very light, sometimes strengthening locally. Temperatures around average for mid-May, but at times just below freezing on highest Scottish summits, resulting in occasional snow here. Existing lying snow thawing only gradually on the highest tops.
