"It will be followed however by windy and wet spells through the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday!

"Some of the rain could well turn thundery and localised flooding is possible!"

Today will start with outbreaks of showery rain, heavy in places, that will clear north this morning along with any mist and fog.

The rest of the day will experience a mix of cloud and sunny spells with scattered showers, some heavy and thundery. It will be mild and humid with temperatures of 18 to 20 degrees.

Showers will die out towards the evening to bring largely dry spells. But, it will turn cloudier from the south with outbreaks of rain becoming blustery as the rain spreads with moderate to fresh and gusty southeasterly winds developing. Mild with lowest temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees.

Tomorrow will start will outbreaks of rain clearing northwards but will be followed by another spell of rain which will become widespread and heavy through the afternoon with the risk of spot flooding.
