BBC South West broadcast meteorologist Linda Ludlow said an area of low pressure sweeping across the region was bringing “unseasonable June weather with persistent rain and strong winds”.<\/p>\n
“Our peak recorded gust so far this morning as the occlusion went through was 51mph on the Isles of Scilly,” she said.<\/p>\n
“The associated heavy and persistent rain will sweep east for the rest of the morning.<\/p>\n
“Brightening up in the far west with sunny spells and will clear Devon by mid-afternoon with the wind becoming more westerly, fresh to strong, by late afternoon.<\/p>\n
“It will be less windy overnight, but still a breezy but drier and brighter day tomorrow with cloudy skies.”<\/p>\n
