Sunshine and heavy blustery showers, perhaps turning wintry over the hills later this afternoon and this evening, although showers becoming isolated by then.

Strong to gale force northwesterly wind and highs of 7°C.

The north-northwest wind will continue to increase to severe gale force this evening, giving gusts quite widely of 55-65 mph, but perhaps up to 75 mph in more exposed spots for a time, which is likely to cause travel disruption as well as some structural damage.

A cold night with minimum temperature generally around 2°C, but close to freezing over the hills.
