One of the roughest day here since we arrived on the island 29nyears ago.

Fortunately no damage but had a power cut from1255 Friday untill 1545 Saturday. Hydro Electric staff worked hard to restore the power considering the amount of damage in places, well done.

It must have been one almighty storm Mull as you have experienced some bad ones in the past.     I'm pleased that you did not have any damage to your property and that the power has been restored so that you can see MOD tonight as Everton had a good away win at Brighton.

A spell of colder weather has set in across the UK, with some places likely to see some sleet and snow.

Friday will be a cloudier, windier day for England and Wales, with some rain showers, mainly towards the southeast. A little sleet and hill snow will also be possible over high ground.

Scotland and Northern Ireland will have a sunnier, drier and less windy day.

Temperatures across the UK will range between about 5 to 8C, but as a brisk easterly wind develops, a wind chill in the south will make it will feel closer to freezing.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued yellow cold-health alerts, external for parts of northern and eastern of England, valid from 7 to 11 February. They warn of the potential for minor impacts to health and social care services.

Parts of North Wales are forecast to be as hot as Majorca, as temperatures soar in the coming days. Although the weekend is set to be a mixed bag, with cloud and rain in parts and temperatures around 14-15C, next week will see temperatures rise, with clear skies and sunshine mid-week.

Although forecasts can change, according to the BBC, the popular Balearic island of Majorca is predicted to see temperatures of 21C on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week.

Wrexham is set to see the mercury rise to 21C, 22C and 20C on the same days, with Rhyl 20C, 20C, 19C; Llanberis 20C, 20C, 18C and Colwyn Bay 20C, 20C, 19C, not far behind.

And the long-range forecast for the UK from Monday, April 28 to Wednesday, May 7, shows many will be in for a prolonged spell of sunshine, however there is still a chance of more changeable weather...........
