Strong blustery winds are set to hit Glasgow after the city was battered with heavy rain over the last couple of days.
The Met Office forecast heavy rain to continue to fall throughout today and will carry on through to Friday with strong winds coming from the south west.
Today (October 6), Glasgow will feel winds reaching speeds of up to 37 miles per hour by 2pm which will ease to 30mph until 10pm tonight.

From then, the speed will pick up again, reaching 36, and through the night, between 1am and 2am, the Met Office expect gales to hit a whopping 41 mph.
While the wind and rain may wake Glasgow residents up through the night, by 7am, the rain will turn to showers and wind speeds will be back down to a reasonable 27 mph. Showers will continue to fall throughout Friday but the sunshine is expected to break through the clouds by late morning.
Speaking in the Met Office 10 Day Trend, Alex Deakin said: “The pressure pattern for the next few days will be dominated by low pressure to the north and high pressure to the south.
“Plenty of isobars are on the charts, meaning it’s going to stay pretty blustery. At times we’ll see these weather fronts drifting through, bringing bands of showery rain across the country.
“Up until Saturday, we’re going to see a mixture of sunshine and showers with strong, blustery westerly winds.”
