The Met Office UK outlook for Saturday 2 March to Monday 11 March said: “Wet and windy weather is likely to move in from the Atlantic during Saturday and continue for many on Sunday.

“The heaviest rain will be in the west, and the best of the drier spells will be in the east. Gales are likely in Northern Ireland and western Scotland.

“Spells of wet and windy weather are likely to continue through next week, interspersed with some drier, brighter periods.

“Further strong winds and gales are likely in exposed areas, particularly in the northwest.
