Gales and rain
Severe weather brings disruption

Split weather map showing winds up to 45 mph near Aberdeen and Cork, alongside heavy rain across Scotland and western Ireland with warning symbols.
Wind and rain warnings cover western areas on Wednesday.

Travel routes are seeing early disruption as strong winds build, with parts of Ireland and Scotland still under warnings.

Gusting winds reaching up to 55 mph already reached western Scotland Wednesday morning. Resulting in the cancellation of 13 ferry routes in the west of Scotland, including links between the Outer Hebrides and the mainland.

Meanwhile, ScotRail is also reporting some disruption with speed restrictions on some lines, including the Fort William - Mallaig line due to rain while all flights at Barra and Benbecula airports are cancelled.

Otherwise, road travel could face delays due to debris in the road while vans and lorries should take care on roads exposed to gusts.

Along western coasts of Scotland and Ireland the severe winds are likely to result in larger coastal waves and possible overlapping.

Be sure to keep an eye on the responsible system today via the WindRadar.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. Up to 1,000 mm of rain. . . Wednesday, 8 July 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
