Things will turn drier in the city by the time the new year is rung in, with the weather remaining cloudy overnight - though there will be brief rain showers.
January 1 will start wet, with heavy rain expected at around 9am, but will quickly become drier later in the morning.
There will be brief moments of sunshine poking through the clouds across much of the late morning, and by around 3pm the sun will be out in full force.
It will also be a warmer day in the city, with a peak of 12C over much of the afternoon.
By 6pm the clouds will return, but it will be a dry evening and night - continuing into Sunday.
