Gusts of up to 45mph are expected inland and exposed coastal areas could see winds of up to 55mph with heavy rain showers, while the Met Office advised that those on the coast should be aware of large waves and to take care if walking near cliffs.
Over the weekend, Met Office meteorologist Ellie Glaisyer said that an area of lower pressure sitting north of the UK was “slowly sinking its way southwards” and would bring “some colder north-westerly winds” through the start of the week.Showers are then expected to clear up across much of the country by Monday evening, aside from the Northern Isles and along North Sea coasts, but it will likely remain windy.
Tuesday should be drier with sunny spells and scattered showers mostly in the North and West, the Met Office said, with the chilly feel and blustery winds continuing.
