There is also the threat of gales around Irish Sea coasts.

Winds will also strengthen during midweek, particularly in the north of the UK with the chance of gales in northern Scotland by Thursday.

Winds will strengthen too, especially for south-west England where coastal gales are likely to develop.

Sunday will start bright but heavy outbreaks of rain will spread to all areas, becoming increasingly windy with gales developing in the south and west of the UK.

There is quite a lot of rainfall in the forecast this week and into the start of next and it will remain quite blustery with the potential for localised gales on Wednesday.
