Rain is moving up the country slowly…very slowly. Surrounded by high pressure the front is slow moving but isn’t weakening, with localised heavier downpours over the next 48 hours.

A sunnier Sunday means a wetter Monday – the cold front may not arrive as originally forecast for some northern places today but the front will arrive overnight and drag on across Monday.

As we’ve said for a few days, most places get 24 hours of rain across this long weekend.
