Heavy rain is moving east through the evening. It will reach south-east England by the early hours. Heavy showers will move through Scotland overnight. The night will be mild: between 9 and 13 degrees.
On Tuesday morning the wind will pick up markedly. In the worst-hit parts of Scotland gusts could reach 70mph (about 113km/h). During the day the strongest winds will move further north.
Tuesday will start wet in the south-east. Heavy showers will push through the north. Elsewhere there will be sunshine and showers, and it will stay blustery all day. The forecast is presented by Honor Criswick.

In south-east England the morning commute and school run may be wet and slower. Construction and gardening firms should secure equipment and scaffolding.
