The remains of Hurricane Katia will move eastwards across northern Scotland during Monday, bringing a spell of very windy weather to the UK and also heavy rain to western Scotland. The strongest winds are expected to affect parts of Northern Ireland during the morning, before moving east across central and southern Scotland and into northeast England by evening. However, areas further south will not be immune, with the potential for strong gusts, particularly to the east of high ground. Northern Scotland is now less at risk of strong winds then previously envisaged.
The public should be prepared for the risk of disruption to transport and of the possibility of damage to trees and structures.
