Patchy rain for some, drizzle for others, the odd heavy fall, oh and don’t forget the isolated thunderstorms/downpours too and of course the large dry spells. Now repeat this forecast over the next few more days and suddenly it starts to become quite confusing as to who gets what.

So this three day rainfall map should hopefully help clear up likely totals in your area. Now with this broken messy but large low we can’t 100% lock in every total you see, but you get the general idea of which regions are perhaps most exposed to higher rainfall totals and those who are least likely to get much rain.

It’s worth noting that a dry spell of weather is likely nationwide around Thursday next week – but that another low with pockets of heavy rain are likely next Friday and weekend too.
