00:01Hi there.

00:02At the time of recording, more than a dozen wind gust records have been broken for August

00:07across parts of Scotland, and we're not out of the woods yet.

00:10Storm Flores continues to bring widespread disruption for northern parts of the UK and

00:15increasingly strong winds during the evening across the northeast of Scotland.

00:20It's this swathe, this hook of rain, where the most damaging and disruptive winds are

00:25likely, and that's just moving through the far north and northeast of Scotland, including

00:29Orkney, during the evening.

00:32That's where there's the risk of 75 to 85 mile per hour wind gusts, and widely across northern

00:38parts of the UK, we have seen wind gusts of 60, 70 miles an hour plus, and those wind gusts

00:44will only slowly moderate as Flores moves away during the evening.

00:48So a continued risk of disruption as Flores continues to bring those unusually strong winds

00:56with not many summer areas of low pressure bringing such high wind speeds in the past.

01:03The spells of rain continue across Shetland, elsewhere it showers and it stays blustery

01:07overnight.

01:09As we start the day on Tuesday, there will be some clear spells across the south and the

01:13east, and certainly it's not quite as windy in the south as further north.

01:18But it is a blustery start today.

01:19The strongest winds will be across Shetland and Orkney first thing.

01:22It's only 70 miles an hour during the first few hours of the day, but those winds do moderate

01:28through the day.

01:29And then although it's going to be windy for many places, especially the north, it's not

01:33going to be quite as widely disruptive in terms of the winds.

01:37A blustery summer day with the mix of bright spells and showers.

01:41The heaviest downpours moving from western Scotland to the east and northeast of the UK as the day

01:47progresses.

01:48Intending to fade away into the evening, plenty of dry weather redeveloping as a ridge of higher

01:53pressure arrives overnight, and that will calm the winds down, although it will stay breezy

01:58in the north with further outbreaks of rain at times for the north of Scotland.

02:03Elsewhere dry with clear spells, a fresh night to come with temperatures in some places dipping

02:09into the single figures.

02:10But we start Wednesday with plenty of sunshine, that ridge of high pressure I mentioned, well

02:15that's going to be in control for most of the UK during Wednesday.

02:18We do have a weak weather front moving through the Northern Isles first thing Wednesday, bringing

02:22some patchy rain.

02:24And a thickening of the cloud across western Scotland and Northern Ireland by the afternoon,

02:28a few spots of rain arriving because of this next approaching frontal system.

02:32But for much of the UK, it's dry, it's bright and certainly a less windy interlude midweek.

02:39But this frontal system I mentioned, well that's coming in ahead of the next area of low pressure.

02:45Not expected to be as powerful as storm florists, but still likely to bring some strong winds,

02:5250, perhaps 60 mile per hour winds to the far north and northwest of Scotland as we go into

02:57Thursday and Friday.

02:58So more changeable weather to come, especially for the north.

03:01However, it's the next few hours that are crucial for the most disruptive winds continuing

03:07across the northeast of Scotland in particular.

03:10More details as ever on YouTube, online and through our social channels.

03:13Bye bye.
