On Wednesday the forecast is for a return to sunshine but the temperature, as with the whole week, will struggle to hit double figures.
The very strong gusts are set to continue through Wednesday but by the end of the week will reduce a bit to around 30-40mph.
During the strongest gusts some bus and train services may be affected, with some journeys taking longer.
