Good morning, everyone! The Met Office is forecasting bright and sunny conditions through until circa 17.00, at which time Storm Austen is expected to alight our shores, bringing with it heavy rain and winds. Temperatures will range from 11 to 14 degrees C, accompanied by light to strong winds, with localised gusts of up to 50mph over night.
The storm is expected to cause disruption to all ferry services, so check with your operator before travelling.
