Forecast mid-March

This period begins to be windy for many people, especially in the north and west with some coastal gales.

Rain is likely to break out in some western areas, persistent and heaviest in the southern hills; It is generally drier in the east with variable clouds and mild sunshine, although rain is also possible here.

Temperatures are expected to be mostly near normal to fairly mild.

For the rest of the time, eastward thrust frontal systems are likely to bring strong winds and rain, with some potential for snowfall.

The main impacts may be due to heavy rain and strong gusts of wind during this time. Clearer weather, with showers, could reach all areas by the end of this period.
