    Strong winds, warmer too: Jet stream driving unsettled weather

Strong winds, warmer too
Jet stream driving unsettled weather

The Jet Stream sends multiple areas of low-pressure, including this on Saturday.

A northerly jet stream is delivering a series of low-pressure areas to end the week.

Expect periods of stronger gusting winds, reaching up to 50 mph in Edinburgh on Friday, 55 mph (89 km/h) in western Ireland on Saturday.

Elsewhere, we see widespread gusts of over 30 mph and plenty of rainfall. With the jet stream in its more northern position, temperatures will rise as warmer air arrives from the south.

This increase in temperatures is most notable in England, where highs return to the mid-20s on Saturday ahead of meteorological summer beginning a day later.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
