AFTER SEVERAL PLACES RECIEVED THEIR COLDEST OCTOBER LOWS ON RECORD YESTERDAY AND A DAY OF MILDER AIR ACCOMPANIED BY WIND AND RAIN, A SECONDARY WAVE OF RAIN AND STRONGER WINDS ARE SET TO STRIKE TONIGHT
As winds rise across the Central Belt this evening from a southerly or southwesterly direction after a wet but generally calm and extremely dull day, keeping street lights on all day long, temperatures are continue to climb through this evening as a secondary frontal system pushes in off the Atlantic.
This morning and throughout this afternoon my temperature here in Lennoxtown has been generally in the low 50s, though a good deal milder than yesterday where the high only reached 45 degrees and having started off with a very cold 22 degrees, as of this writing (7.40pm) my reading is now at 56 degrees and continues to rise, this value is actually the mildest since a 56-degree high back on Tuesday 14th and today marks the first day with a temperature which has topped 50 degrees since Sunday 17th, yes it has been fairly cool of late.
The rise in temperature through tonight and a likely low by morning which may only get to perhaps 54 or 55 degrees is thanks to an Atlantic low which will progress east over far northern Britain, this not only wind send impulses of rain through the region tonight but winds are likely to pick up and with the push of southerly winds, temperatures may reach 60 degrees through the overnight before dropping off slowely tomorrow as this next batch of weather moves through.
The Central Belt will see winds blow 15 to 25 mph tonight and bands of hefty rain showers are likely but the worst of the weather as we saw through last night and today will be confined to the west of Glasgow and up towards Fort William and Cape Wrath, immediate coastal areas and the western and northwest Highlands will be in for yet more wild weather with gales and in spots, severe gales that will send wind speeds to 70 mph or higher as well as intense impulses of blinding rain, temperatures will remain mild with overnight readings across much of the country and particularly to the west remaining above 50 degrees (10C).
Further south, areas of Southern Scotland will remain mild also with blustery winds out of the south and southwest with on and off showers.
Down through Cumbria and the rest of the north of England, will also see breezy conditions with showers, lows remaining mild also. As for the rest of the country, it will remain mild, with some clear skies and on and off showers. The mildest air is likely to be found around the south and southeast of England where London may remain in the upper 50s to even near 60 degrees overnight.
