days, yes we will keep that chillier

feel but there should be a lot of

dry weather.

feel but there should be a lot of

dry weather.

Good evening. First, the warmest day

of the year thus far. I know it is

only the 22nd but 15, not too bad.

Going in the right direction. The

main headline is about Storm

Georgina, 80 miles per hour in the

top end of Scotland. Got to be

disruptive. There is the great mass

of cloud already. The observations

on the western side of Ireland,

about 45 minutes ago, around 50

miles per hour and as that system

deepens overnight and comes that

little bit closer to the

north-western quarter of the British

Isles, those winds are set to

increase such that gales will become

widespread across western parts of

the British Isles. The sort of thing

that might keep you awake there.

They will be accompanied by quite a

bit of rain. Not a cold night. Too

much cloud and breeze for there to

be a widespread problem with frost.

But if you are on the move first up

on Wednesday morning, very strong

winds and a lot of rain and surface

water could be a real oar u. Our

major concern at the wind is close

to the centre but this feature in

its own right, which many more of

you will see, will be a combination

of wet and squally winds combined.

Here we are, first up, 70 to 80

miles per hour. But towards the

central belt, up to 50. Similar in

Northern Ireland. Imagine what it

will be like up and over the

Pennines, into the Welsh hills and

look at the inland values here, 40,

50 miles per hour. Perhaps somewhere

around about the coast to the south

and west, easily up about 60 miles

per hour, whilst you have that

weather-front close by. It starts

off quiet in the south-eastern

quarter. Don't be fooled because the

rain comes to you and those strong

winds as well. But following on

behind, it is not a bad day. Extra

sunny spells and blustery showers.

Winds still a factor certainly,

certainly will be close by that

centre which takes a time to get

away. In the south, once the front

is through you'll end up close to 7,

8, 9, 10. Out of Wednesday into

Thursday, away goes Georgina and the

front. A new low towards Northern

Ireland. That's the focus for the

swirl of showers, with sunny spells

in between and that is Thursday's

weather, just a fraction cooler than

we were today. That's for sure.

Friday,
