00:00Hello, good morning.

00:02Storm Floris was an exceptionally strong summer storm, bringing widespread disruption across

00:07northern parts of the UK, in particular much of Scotland, where some stations broke their

00:14August wind gust record.

00:17But Floris is now heading into Scandinavia.

00:19The winds will slowly moderate still the potential for 50 to 70 mile per hour wind gusts for

00:24Shetland and Orkney first thing, along with spells of rain.

00:27Those spells of rain turning to showers, the winds gradually easing across the whole of

00:32the UK as the day continues.

00:35But it will stay blustery wherever you are, with frequent showers coming in.

00:39Initially the heaviest downpours will be in the north-west, and then later in the north-east

00:43a few rumbles of thunder.

00:45In between the showers, some bright spells, very few showers in the south, where there

00:48will be plenty of sunshine into the afternoon, a bit of a breeze, but nothing compared to

00:53northern parts of the UK.

00:55Certainly what we've seen over the last 24 hours.

00:58So feeling warm enough in the south, but cool where we've got the breeze further north.

01:02And we'll continue to see showery rain across the far north of Scotland as we go into Tuesday

01:07night.

01:08But elsewhere it's dry, with lighter winds, clear spells and a fresh night to come.

01:12Temperatures in some places dipping into these single figures.

01:15But we start off Wednesday with plenty of sunshine.

01:18And Wednesday looks like the finest day of the week for many places.

01:21We've got this ridge of high pressure moving in, a midweek interlude between areas of low

01:26pressure, plenty of sunshine during the morning, thicker cloud coming along for the afternoon

01:30into western parts, a few spots of rain for Northern Ireland late on.

01:34But otherwise it's a dry and bright day for many, and with light winds feeling pleasant in

01:39the August sunshine with 22-23 Celsius expected.

01:42But you can see, waiting in the wings, another area of rainfall.

01:47Now this is associated with the next area of low pressure.

01:51Not as powerful a system as storm florists, but still likely on Thursday to bring some very

01:56strong winds to the northwest, especially northwestern Scotland with the risk of 50 or even 60 mile

02:01per hour wind gusts.

02:02So yeah, nowhere near as bad as florists, but another wind spell likely as we end the week.
