Strong south-westerly winds, force six or more are expected to develop across Sole, Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea and Plymouth during Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday morning. Saturday is shaping up to be a nice, dry day with temperatures reaching 15 degrees in some places. Showers on Sunday.
