Forecast in full
Today: Sunny spells and showers, these heaviest and most frequent in the south where it will be windy, especially at the coast. A brief spell of more widespread heavy rain affects all but East Sussex and Kent by late afternoon. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
Tonight: Heavy rain moves quickly across the far east of the region during the early evening, leaving a largely dry but breezy night with variable cloud and a few isolated showers. Minimum temperature 6 °C.
Friday: Another generally bright and breezy day, though winds not as strong as on Thursday. Some scattered showers are likely, but many places should stay dry. Maximum temperature 11 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday: Rather windy again on Saturday with some rain. Drier on Sunday, but remaining breezy, then a mostly fine, bright day with lighter winds Monday. Temperatures near or slightly above average.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Frank Saunders said: “Storm Gerrit will run towards western UK on Wednesday and bring with it potential impacts for much of the UK.
“Winds across southern coastal areas of England will be strong, possibly peaking around 70 mph on exposed coastlines, but more widely around 50-60 mph within the warning area.”
