Strong south to southeasterly winds are likely to affect parts of Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland during Sunday. Gusts of 45 to 60 mph could occur quite widely, and especially around exposed coasts and over to and to the north of high ground. There is potential for gusts of around 70 mph across the Western Isles and Northern Isles. The strength of the wind is likely to exacerbate impacts from areas of heavy rain and heavy snow, for which seperate warnings are issued.

Rain will spread from the west across Northern Ireland during Saturday evening. A drier interlude is likely for a time on Sunday morning, before further heavy rain moves through later on Sunday. 20-30 mm could accumulate quite widely during this period, with totals of 40-60 mm possible over higher ground. Additionally, it will turn much milder, leading to the melting of lying snow and thus increasing the potential for some flooding impacts in places.
