Cold and windy today with bright intervals but also plenty of showers.

Some of these will be heavy and prolonged, and possibly wintry on the hilltops.

Strong to gale force westerly winds, veering northwest later, with the maximum temperature 7 or 8 Celsius.

This evening the showers will die out, with the night dry and clear as winds gradually ease. Tomorrow will be a fine day, as winds ease further to become light by the afternoon.
