The weather is starting to heat up but we are still not seeing the end of the rain.
Today will be a dry and bright start but it's set to get wet and windier later this afternoon, on Monday, May 9. The Met Office says as the wind gets stronger this afternoon, the rain will push in.
It will however remain warm, with temperatures hitting around 18C. On Tuesday it will be another day of sunshine and showers for many.

The Met Office predicts that some showers will be heavy at times but will be broken up by sunny spells. It won't be a cold day, though, with maximum temperatures hitting 17C.
This seems to be the trend for most of the week, with bright and sunny spells likely between showers. Some forecasters believe this will be the start of the good weather.
It's predicted that summer will start in mid to late May, with heatwaves even expected in some parts of the country. Sunday could be the start of this, with the mercury hitting 19C.
The BBC outlook for the rest of the week reads: "Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with area of heavy and persistent rain moving in from the south-west. There is some uncertainty on the timing and intensity of the rain, but it is expected to be unsettled.
"Thursday will be drier with some sunshine at first. Clouding over later on with a few spots of rain. Friday see variable amounts of cloud and a few sunny spells."
