Cloud will build from the southwest overnight and further spells of rain are expected from around 0100, with winds strengthening once again. The rain will be heavy and persistent at first, but it will soon turn lighter and patchier and will continue on-and-off through the rest of Tuesday morning. RSTs are expected to remain above zero, reaching their lowest values around mid evening before rising again through the night. |
