While Thursday will see blustery winds and rain for many, it’s Friday when we could see more impacts, with warnings issued for wind and rain.
“On Friday, south and west Wales, southwest Scotland and eastern parts of Northern Ireland will see the strongest winds, possibly around 70mph on exposed coasts and around 60mph more widely within the warning areas.
High ground is expected to see the highest rainfall totals, with 30-40 mm possible in the space of six hours, which would total to near 70 mm by the time the rain eases on Friday evening.
The UK has been hit with a number of yellow weather warnings for wind and rain, just as the temperature is set to increase after a spell of cold weather earlier this month.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: “The weather will be turning milder for much of the country from Thursday, but this transition heralds the start of some potentially more impactful wind and rain.
