00:00Good afternoon, welcome to your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:04Storm Dara continues to bring disruptive and potentially damaging wind and rain as we head

00:09through the rest of Saturday and into Sunday.

00:11It's situated out towards the east of the UK at the moment, but that squeeze in the

00:14isobars across western areas will continue to see those strong winds across the west

00:19through the rest of Saturday and into Sunday.

00:22High pressure does start to build across the northwest as we go through Sunday, so settling

00:25everything down, but plenty of strong winds and heavy rain before we get there.

00:29Let's take a closer look at those strong winds then, and it's across western areas

00:33that we will see those strongest winds through the rest of Saturday evening.

00:36Gusts here of 70, perhaps 80 miles an hour, and even inland, we could see gusts of 40

00:41to 50, perhaps 60 miles an hour in places.

00:44As I mentioned, those winds will be easing as we go through Sunday, although still remaining

00:47quite windy across the south and the west, even to end on Sunday evening.

00:52Back to the rest of Saturday though, and there's a lot of wet weather and strong winds out

00:55there at the moment.

00:56Some heavy and persistent rain across northern and eastern parts of England and southern

01:00parts of Wales too, so we could see some flooding in places here.

01:04And those strong winds continuing across the west, those gusts of up to perhaps 80 miles

01:08an hour to end the day on Saturday.

01:10And even inland, we could see those gusts of 40 to 50 miles an hour.

01:15Strong northerly winds will keep temperatures around about average for the time of year,

01:18but it's likely to be feeling chillier than what those temperatures are showing, particularly

01:22across eastern areas where we see those strong winds and that heavy rain continuing.

01:27As we go through Saturday evening, that heavy rain across northern and eastern areas does

01:30continue, perhaps turning quite persistent at times, and likely to turn to sleet and

01:35snow over any high ground across parts of Scotland.

01:38The winds down a notch across the west, but we could still see gusts here of 60 to 70

01:42miles an hour, and widely still staying windy into the early hours of Sunday morning across

01:47much of the UK.

01:49Plenty of cloud as well across much of England and Wales, although it will be turning a little

01:52drier with some clear spells across parts of Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland.

01:56So a chilly night to come, but likely remaining above zero for most of us, although that does

02:01still mean a chilly start to the day on Sunday.

02:04A cloudy and damp start too across eastern parts of England.

02:08Heavy and persistent rain continues to slowly push its way south and eastwards, although

02:12perhaps a bit of a brighter day across western areas, some sunshine through the afternoon,

02:15although it will still be a very windy start to the day.

02:18But winds gradually starting to ease from the west as we go through the afternoon, although

02:22it will still remain quite blustery across the southeast towards the end of Sunday.

02:27Some sunshine across parts of Northern Ireland, western parts of Scotland, Wales and southwest

02:31England perhaps seeing some brightness too, and temperatures still around about average

02:34for the time of year, although again feeling really quite chilly in that northerly wind,

02:38particularly across the south and the east where we see that cloud and rain through the

02:41afternoon.

02:42That cloud and rain across the southeast continues for much of Sunday evening and into the start

02:48of Monday, although it does start to fizzle out.

02:49But further north and further west, it will generally be staying drier overnight and with

02:53light winds and clear skies, that does mean quite a chilly start to the day on Monday.
