TODAY - Monday 2nd February
Mostly cloudy today with just limited bright spells early on. While it will be largely for many with just some isolated patches of rain or drizzle, persistent rain, heavy at times, will arrive into the southwest in the late morning and remain for the day. Given the already saturated soils and high river levels, this rainfall may lead to flooding. Becoming breezy with easterly winds increasing moderate to fresh, stronger near coasts. Highest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees.
