restrictions in coastal waters; such as in the Moray Firth and Firth of Forth during prevailing westerly wind conditions. The Pentland Firth is also resolved by multiple cells in the model, although the addition of current information would be needed in order to properly represent wave growth and dissipation

Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “It’ll be quite a miserable end to the working week for southern and south-west England as Storm Alex brings heavy rain and strong winds tomorrow, with coastal gales of around 60-65mph for some.  “Away from the south it’ll be a more pleasant day, with light

. Otherwise, it will be a fine day with light winds and a fair amount of sunshine in many areas, although freezing fog patches could persist in a few places.  How long the more settled, colder conditions will last is uncertain, with rain probably returning to westernmost areas at least by the end of the week

A band of low cloud and patchy light rain or drizzle will move southeastwards across Northern Ireland and western Scotland during the day, gradually extending into Wales, northern England and parts of the southwest. Behind this, brighter conditions will develop with sunny spells and a scattering

is possible. Outlook for Saturday Saturday will be fairly cloudy, with light rain or showers in the far northwest, becoming increasingly windy with gales developing later. The southeast will remain mostly fine and rather mild, though there is a small chance of a few thunderstorms during the day

, possibly with embedded thunderstorms, across some southwestern parts. These will gradually break up into showers, persisting for much of the day. Most other regions will see variable cloud and a scattering of mainly light showers, with the chance of a moderate shower near southern coasts. Cloud and patchy

is likely to enjoy a mostly fine day with hazy sunshine. Winds will remain light, occasionally moderate to fresh along coasts. Temperatures will range from rather cool in the northwest to rather warm, locally warm, in the southeast. READ MORE: How to stay safe and cool in the heat Met Office

The far west and southwest may see heavier rain in places, which will slowly spread east and northeast through the day, fragmenting and becoming more showery as it does so. Winds will be light to moderate, with a small risk of stronger
