Storm Babet continues to drive yet more rain to many areas, particularly further east.

Heavy and persistent spells of rain are to be expected in the east and central areas of the UK again today where a strong easterly wind blows through. Drier further west, though, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland will see some outbreaks of rain.

Largely dry with the best of any sunny spells across north and west Scotland, though expect gale force winds and gusts here. Even with all this weather it is relatively mild further south and west. Colder in the north and east.

Overnight, rain continues to affect eastern regions of England, particularly northeast, as well as east and central Scotland where winds continue to blow through strong and gale force. Outbreaks of rain through Wales. Mainly dry further south, across Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Lows dropping back in the north and west.
