The Easter Bank Holiday weekend is set to experience windy weather as Storm Dave arrives.

Saturday will see gusts reaching up to 46mph. However, better weather may arrive before then.

For those planning to go out today, the optimal time appears to be this morning. At 9am, the probability of precipitation stands at just 10 percent, though skies will stay overcast and temperatures will be rather mild.

This afternoon is expected to feature sunny intervals alongside rainfall, with a significantly increased chance of showers affecting the urban area.

Saturday is forecasted to be drier, though winds will strengthen during the afternoon and into the evening hours. Gusts may accelerate to speeds of up to 46mph throughout the night.

Wind speeds are expected to moderate somewhat on Sunday, with strong gusts still present but unlikely to exceed 35mph during daylight hours.

Sunday is also predicted to bring additional sunshine, although morning rainfall remains possible.

Throughout the bank holiday weekend, Monday appears most promising with sunny conditions and an extremely low probability of precipitation. Temperatures are anticipated to stay relatively cool, peaking at 14 degrees Celsius.

Across other parts of the nation, the Met Office has issued wind alerts for Saturday through Sunday as Storm Dave makes landfall.

Currently, these warnings do not impact Coventry and Warwickshire, with Scotland, portions of the north and north Wales instead being affected.
