The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain from Tuesday into Wednesday as barrelling winds make a track towards the UK. The alert is in place for a swathe of the UK, covering all of Wales and parts of south England and the midlands under the warning. Winds of up to 60mph could hit isolated parts, with 50mph gusts elsewhere, but weather maps have pinpointed just how fast the maximum gusts are.
The Met Office forecast for today reads: “Most areas seeing some sunshine but also occasional showers, heavy for some.
“Showers in the south tending to ease this afternoon, leaving showers focused across parts of northern England, western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Still quite windy, temperatures near average.”
However, while it looks like we’ve had a reprieve from the recent windy weather, the gales will return imminently.
Weather maps from WXCharts show a swirling system brewing in the Atlantic and barreling towards Britain on Tuesday in the early hours.

Peak wind gust maps from the forecaster, which gets its data from MetDesk, reveal that by 3am on Tuesday morning, the storm system will have winds reaching a staggering 75mph in some parts, as you can see in the map above.
On the whole, winds are expected to reach between 50mph and 60mph - with Ireland taking the brunt of the fierce gusts from the early hours.
By midday on Tuesday, the storm will have moved in a north-easterly direction to be hitting the entire east coast of Britain.
While at the same time, Ireland's entire southern portion will be seeing winds of about 55mph.
Wind gusts of 62mph were recorded in Fermanagh early on Thursday morning, with 79mph recorded at Capel Curig, north Wales.
The storm has passed over by Friday, a MEt Office spokesman told Express.co.uk, but he added there was more blustery systems on their way.
Deputy Meteorologist at the Met Office, Dave Oliver said: “Along with the sometimes heavy rain, strong winds have the potential to cause impacts that are not common in August.
"With this spell of unsettled weather coinciding with trees in full leaf and a peak in the camping season, wind-related impacts are more likely at lower wind speeds compared to other times of the year.”
The Met Office forecast from Wednesday to September 4 reads: “The outlook period begins generally unsettled with strengthening winds accompanied by showers or longer spells of rain across much of the UK.
“Towards the bank holiday weekend, these spells of rain and strong winds may perhaps become more confined towards northern and eastern areas, with the driest conditions mostly likely in the south.
“Although, the southwest may see some further spells of wind and rain at times. Temperatures should be near or slightly below the average for this time of year, with a potential for some frost overnight, but otherwise feeling warm in any sunnier spells.
“Although confidence is low into September, it is likely that the first part will see a transition into a more zonal pattern, with the north unsettled and the south generally drier and warmer.”
