Why It Matters
The UK recently experienced heavy downpours and gales from Storm Boelo and Storm Austen.
After a weekend of heavy downpours and severe gales, Storm Boelo is moving away from the UK and the weather is turning calmer.
However, this may not last long as another deep area of low pressure is already approaching from the Atlantic.
As this moves into north-west areas of the UK during Monday and Tuesday it will bring another dose of rain and gales.
Met Office yellow wind warnings have been issued for much of Scotland, northern areas of Northern Ireland, Wales and western England.
However, this latest weather system is unlikely to be as widely disruptive as Storm Boelo - or Storm Austen which came before it - and has not, so far, been named.
The next name on the list for the 2026/2027 season is Chloe.
Monday morning will bring rain to many parts of south-west England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This will move rapidly north-eastwards reaching central, eastern and northern England, as well as most of Scotland, by around lunchtime.
It will also be rather misty and murky over some coasts and hills.
As the rain clears, slightly drier conditions will spread across the UK from the south-west.
While many areas will remain cloudy a few bright or sunny spells are possible, especially in Wales and south-west England.
Southerly winds will bring warmer air than of late, especially in the south where temperatures may peak at 18 or 19C.
After a breezy start to Monday, winds will strengthen once again during the day, with widespread gusts of 30-40mph and 50mph gusts likely in many coastal areas and 65mph in some locations.
It will turn even windier overnight and Tuesday as the area of low pressure passes close to Northern Ireland and north-west Scotland, the very strongest gusts could reach 70-85mph in the Hebrides.
Yellow wind warnings are in place covering both of these areas starting from Monday evening into late Tuesday evening.
