Storm Malik is expected to bring strong gales and wet weather to the region this weekend. A yellow weather warning for wind has been issued by the Met Office for Sunday across the north west, where gales are likely to cause "some travel disruption".

The storm is set to be the start of a period of unsettled conditions, with a number of weather systems coming from the west over the northern half of the UK into next week and the start of February.

Its long-range weather forecast for next week also suggests there will be a continued north/south divide, with downpours forecast for the north west of the country in particular.

Meteorologist Adrian McGivern says it'll be a fine and bright weekend for the south, but rain is forecast to settle late afternoon on Sunday across the north west of England and Scotland. "The weather will turn more unsettled in the north west, which will impact the temperatures, it will feel quite cold under that rain and wind," he said in his forecast on Friday. "The uncertainties over the development of the low to the north west of the UK become quite important for the second half of Sunday. "As we go into Sunday evening, it looks like it will turn increasingly unsettled across the north, with heavy rain and strong winds." Cloud and outbreaks of rain are likely in the north west initially on Tuesday, spreading across the UK throughout the day, with temperatures near normal.
