Pressure setup brings renewed gusts

UK & Ireland warning map dated Thu 26.02 showing yellow wind warning levels across much of Britain and Ireland, with a red triangular wind warning icon and a legend indicating levels 1 to 4.

Thursday sees widespread warnings for developing winds.

Mild but gusty conditions continue into Thursday, with yet more rainfall moving in, and strengthening winds across the UK and Ireland.

Currently, low-level weather warnings cover the entirety of Ireland, and much of the UK too with only a few areas to the east of Scotland and England escaping the incoming gusts.

A low-pressure area which sits just off the coast of Iceland is responsible for the change in conditions.

The winds ease for Ireland and Scotland by Friday evening, though continue across Wales and England into the weekend.
