Breakfast brief: Gales by day, freezer by night

Strong winds remain a focus over Scotland and Ireland, with warnings active, while overnight, sub-zero temperatures return.

Strong winds, reaching gales, remain over Scotland this morning. Most notably for the north-west and Shetland. Remaining strong over Ireland through the day, too, but beginning to fade towards the evening.

It is a mostly dry end to the week, outside of rainfall over western Scotland, in the same areas covered by the wind warnings.

For temperatures, the best of the warmth is found in southern Ireland with highs of around 12°C in Cork and eastern Scotland, around 11°C in Aberdeen. By night, negative temperatures return across England.
