“At some point later Sunday into Monday, another weather front is expected to move in from the Atlantic, bringing rain and strengthening winds.
“Weather fronts are expected to bring the heaviest rain across northern and western hills of Scotland and Northern Ireland, then weakening as these fronts move southeast, further into England and Wales.
“The rest of the period is signalled to maintain the northwest-southeast split, but with settled weather in the south and east perhaps becoming more extensive across the country later.
“Temperatures overall will probably be close to average, with a chance of some short-lived very warm conditions in the south and east at times.”
