Monday will be windy for a time with strong southerly winds reaching gale force at the west and south coast through the morning.
The rain in western areas will move quickly eastwards in a heavy and persistent band, clearing the west early and the east by lunchtime.
As the rain clears the forecast says winds will ease for a time and veer westerly and the sun will come out with just a few showers to follow.
It will become cooler as the rain clears with afternoon temperatures of 7 or 8°C.
