england and north wales during the afternoon. for scotland and northern ireland on sunday, i said it was a messy picture. sunny spells and scattered showers still driven along by gusts of winds. gusts still in excess of 60 miles an hour on exposed coasts. pretty academic when you factor in the cloud and rain at times. as we move out of sunday into monday still plenty of isobars stay with us. the winter remain a feature. it will be a case of sunny spells and scattered showers to start of the new working week. some of the showers will be extensive but tending to ease with more sunshine coming through. temperatures should peak once again into double figures with highest values of 13 celsius. as we move into tuesday and wednesday, there will still be showers around potentially across england and wales in the middle part of the meat may be a little bit quieter and staying on the mild side. —— part of the week it may be a little quieter. good afternoon. more than 200,000 homes are still without power after one of the worst storms t

gusts of wind 70—90 mph across parts of southwest england and wales. but across a wider area of england and wales, the winds will be strong enough to blow down a large number of trees — we're talking about the risk of very widespread disruption as we go through friday. you might want to think about changing your travel plans. now, the swathe of strong winds starts off across wales and southwest england, but progresses eastwards through the day — and even in greater london, we could see winds gusting into the 70s of miles an hour, bringing some very dangerous conditions indeed. further northwards, into scotland, northern ireland and northern england, over the high ground, we're talking about blizzards and heavy snow — that could trap some drivers over high—level routes. that's the latest. this is bbc news. the headlines. a red weather warning is issued for parts of south—west england and south wales as storm eunice prepares to sweep through the country tomorrow. it comes as scotland and the north of england recoverfrom storm dudley, which caus

lots of sunshine across england and wales. a little bit more cloud for scotland and northern ireland, but on the whole, it is still going to be a dry one. so, let's have a look at the big picture at the moment. we are in a sort of window of decent weather across western europe here. there are storms out in the atlantic, but for a change, they are heading way to the north of us. so, we'rejust being gently brushed here in the north west of the country by these atlantic weather fronts. it'll be dry because they'll stay out to sea. and, in fact, most of us will be under the influence of the high pressure, and indeed this is the case through the early hours. you can see the clear skies and light winds across england and wales. a bit more cloud here in the north west because we closer to the weather front. as i said, that weather front will stay out to sea, so it'll be dry. but it will be mild for belfast and glasgow. we're talking eight degrees first thing across many parts of england, certainly a good chance of at least a ground f

could be a touch of frost, particularly across england and wales. it will cloud over a bit from the north, bringing some rain across northern parts of scotland as we start the day. so, after that fairly cool, but mostly dry start towards the south at least, what we will see is this weather frontjust making inroads into scotland and northern ireland, so trying to push in. bumping into higher pressure further south. so, that will bring outbreaks of rain, perhaps a bit of mountain snow to scotland, later in the day into northern ireland, perhaps a few showers in the far north west of england later on. but for much of england and wales, thankfully we're looking at a drier day on wednesday. some sunshine around, temperatures around about 10—11 degrees in the south, but to the north of that cold front, only around about seven degrees there for stornoway for instance. and then we're looking at a colder day more widely on thursday with some blustery showers, anotherfairly windy—feeling day, but thankfully things looking a little bit warmer, drier and br

tomos morgan, bbc news, south wales. well, storm eunice has also caused travel chaos across the country. planes have struggled to land at airports, and gale force winds brought trees down on railway lines. our correspondent emma simpson reports. would you like some water? what they really want is to get home. early evening at london's waterloo station — hardly any trains are leaving and there's nothing travellers can do. we've been here since about 12.30 so it's not looking very good. dare i ask, what's plan b? we don't have a plan b at the minute. it is what it is, it's not the railway's fault. - they're probably trying _ to do their best, and we just have to be patient and wait and see, really. - at banbury station, a roof flies on to the platform. another roof landed on carmarthen station too. this will take some lifting — a track in the south—west. another area badly hit. fallen trees and debris have caused much of the rail disruption. every train operator in england has been dealing with delays and cancellatio

and in the rest of the country, there's an amber warning for wind across much of england and wales. there are also less severe alerts for wind and snow in much of scotland, the north of england and northern ireland. here's our science editor rebecca morelle. storm eunice hasn't yet hit, but it is already making its presence felt. in weston—super—mare, the floodgates are shutting, ready for whatever the weather will throw at them. they're also preparing ahead in st ives. we have got our flood defence boards that go on the front the pub. with sandbags behind them. hopefully we'll stop the sea coming in. and the met office has issued a rare red weather warning for friday morning for parts of south west england and south wales, meaning there is a danger to life. it's going to be a bad one. as long as people take notice of the winnings, don't take any risks, don't get washed away, life is more precious than a photograph. what is making storm eunice so potent is a combination of events — it is being driven an extremely active jet stream, blowing at more than 200 miles an hour, high

prince of wales was at windsor castle for investiture. they did meet, but we are told by royal sources that the queen is showing no symptoms of covid, having met the prince of wales on tuesday. but the situation will continue to be monitored. the prince of wales, clarence house will not say how he is what we can assume he is coping with it ok, here's triple jab and we can assume the queen is triple vaccinated as well. the prince of wales last night was at the british museum, there with his wife the duchess of cornwall, where he met a number of people, including cabinet ministers, reception for the british asian trust, but the duchess of cornwall has tested negative and continued with her engagements today, the prince of wales cancelled his, but perhaps the most important point is that the queen, having met the prince of wales on tuesday, is not showing any symptoms of covid according to sources.— according to sources. nick, thank ou. let's go back now to the end of covid restrictions in england, after the prime minister said yesterday r

mild with it across england and wales —11—13 celsius. a little bit cooler with those wintry showers continuing in scotland. now as we move out of sunday into monday, still low pressure sitting to the north of the country, still plenty of isobars on the chart. it's going to drive in plenty of showers first thing, with the strongest of the winds first thing on monday morning, again gusting close to 55—60 mph. but as we go through the morning on monday, the winds should start to ease and so too should some of those showers. so into the afternoon, we'll see more in the way of sunshine coming through, so despite the wind direction swinging around to a north—westerly, with a little bit more sunshine coming through now and we're in the middle of february, temperatures will still hold up into double figures for many. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, it's a similar weather story really. low pressure sits up into the north. plenty of isobars on the charts, still unfortunately wet and windy at times. and you can see that on the outlook

saturday brought a largely dry and settled today across england and wales, a few showers at workloads across parts of scotland and northern ireland but this was the scene as the sun went down early on in norfolk. we will keep the clear skies through the rest of tonight across england and wales but we have this band of cloud sitting to the north—west spelling and across northern ireland and scotland at times, down to a weather front slowly nudging in from the north—west but high—pressure to the east dominating our weather through the remainder of the weekend. for this evening and tonight, clear skies in england and wales and eastern scotland and a little more cloud across the north—west of the uk and by the end of the night summary and working on for northern ireland towards the western isles as well. under clearskies ireland towards the western isles as well. under clear skies with light winds it is quite chilly across england and wales in particular and we could see a touch of frost in the countryside with the temperature below freezing. sunday dry and settled weather once ag

could be a touch of frost, particularly across england and wales. it will cloud over a bit from the north, bringing some rain across northern parts of scotland as we start the day. so, after that fairly cool, but mostly dry start towards the south at least, what we will see is this weather frontjust making inroads into scotland and northern ireland, so trying to push in. bumping into higher pressure further south. so, that will bring outbreaks of rain, perhaps a bit of mountain snow to scotland, later in the day into northern ireland, perhaps a few showers in the far northw wst of england later on. but for much of england and wales, thankfully we're looking at a drier day on wednesday. some sunshine around, temperatures around about 10—11 degrees in the south, but to the north of that cold front, only around about seven degrees there for stornoway for instance. and then we're looking at a colder day more widely on thursday with some blustery showers, another fairly windy—feeling day, but thankfully things looking a little bit warmer, drier and b

that band of rain likely to get stuck across parts of england and wales through the day. brighter skies and showers following on to the north west. quite blustery, highs of 6 to 11 degrees. and then for the middle of the week, we look way above our heads to the jet stream. the winds in the jet stream will be blowing at more than 200 mph, injecting a huge amount of energy into the atmosphere — energy that is set to spin up deep areas of low pressure — and this brings the potential for some stormy weather. this low looks set to pass to the north of the uk as we go through wednesday and indeed into thursday. so wednesday looks like this — outbreaks of rain splashing southeastwards with those strengthening winds, gales easily developing across northwestern parts through the afternoon. temperatures, though, very, very mild, particularly for england, wales and northern ireland, 12 to 15 degrees. but the winds give the greatest cause for concern through wednesday night, into the first part of thursday. the white lines, the isobars, squeezing together. we could see gusts of
