The forecast updated Wed 14 Oct, 09:08

A dry start with some bright or sunny spells, but cloud will thicken later and south-westerly winds will strengthen to gales this afternoon, with gusts of 45–50mph possible later; highs around 16°C, and watch out for waves overtopping on the coast around high tide (about 2:15pm today and 2:30am Thursday). Heavy rain arrives early on Thursday with gales continuing, before it clears in the afternoon or evening as winds turn north-westerly and ease. Friday looks mostly dry with sunny spells and around 13°C, and high pressure should then bring a prolonged settled spell.
