Into Friday it will be another wet and windy start, with showers persisting throughout the day. It will stay unsettled into the weekend with rain or showers and strong winds at times.
Speaking in the Met Office 10-day trend, meteorologist and presenter Aidan McGivern said: "The jet stream is approaching the UK from the west and sending us further areas of low pressure, with tightly packed isobars across the UK. That continues to be the case as further low-pressure systems deepen and get sent in from the west.
"It’s going to stay blustery, with some strong gusts in the west in particular and these lows will continue to send us outbreaks of rain and showers heading into the weekend."
He added: "Next week, the jet stream is a bit more amplified and it’s coming at the UK from the northwest rather than from the west like recent days. This subtle change into the start of next week will see colder weather coming in and rather than prolonged bouts of rain from the west, we’re likely to see rain and showers coming from the northwest."
