Windy in the west with spells of rain

The unsettled theme persists to start the new week with further blustery, showery spells of rain.

Kickstarting your morning

Welcome to the breakfast brief, offering your daily weather forecast and a sneak peek at the day's news.

Weather outlook

Further showery spells of rain are expected, potentially thundery in nature, particularly across eastern fringes of the UK. Increasing bright spells breaking through later.

Rain will also push into the west coast of Ireland, where some strong winds are expected to gust around 40 mph, perhaps locally nearer to 50 mph in spots.

What's coming up in the news

The first weather trend of the week arrives later this afternoon, while we're staying on top of the latest news in weather at home and abroad throughout the day.
