## The weather

There's a yellow weather warning for wind with temperatures around 7-8°C, though it will feel significantly colder at just 3-4°C.

**Today's forecast:**

- Scattered light showers throughout the morning and early afternoon with a 50-60% chance of rain
- Wind speeds of 14-18 mph from the south-southwest, with gusts up to 42 mph
- Cloudy conditions developing from late afternoon
- Excellent visibility throughout the day

**Make sure you:**

- Secure any garden furniture, bins or loose items that could be affected by strong winds
- Wrap up warm – the wind chill will make it feel much colder than the actual temperature
- Pack a waterproof jacket, as showers are likely
- Consider moving vehicles away from trees if parking for extended periods
