Respite from the heavy rain developing, with drier and brighter weather soon moving in from the southwest and some breaks in the hill fog. From late afternoon into the evening, though, there is a risk that showers, possibly on the heavy side, will start to clip the island. The wind will be mainly moderate to fresh from the south or southwest with temperatures up to 18 Celsius at best.
