Forecast: RSTs are expected to remain well above zero over the next 36 hours. Winds will continue from a predominantly west-northwesterly direction, with stronger gusts affecting southern coastal, where speeds will range between 20–27 mph. Elsewhere, west-northwesterly winds will generally be lighter, around 15–20 mph. Visibility will remain good across the period, with only a low risk of isolated mist patches developing in locally prone areas.
