Cold weather on the way this week
Heavy rain and strengthening winds are coming 🌧️
This week starts with heavy rain and strengthening winds before the weather turns a good deal colder.
Early on Tuesday a deepening area of low pressure will move east across northern Scotland bringing rain, which will be heavy at times, especially across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The rain will be accompanied by strengthening north westerly winds.
A yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for Scotland on Tuesday.
Looking further ahead, milder air from the Atlantic is expected to push in on Friday and more especially into the weekend, cutting off the cold air from the north and seeing a return to temperatures nearer average for the time of year.
