Kickstarting your morning

Welcome to the breakfast brief, delivering a look at the day's weather and a sneak peek at today's articles.

Weather outlook

Much of the rain seen on Monday has cleared, though two clear bands remain across western areas of the UK, and towards the south-east.

By early afternoon, showers develop across Ireland, while a risk of thundery showers forms in western Scotland.

It remains a windswept outlook, with highs of 40 mph in Dublin and across western Scotland, before gusts grow stronger later in the week.

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.
