Weather: Heavy rain in south, bright in north and east

Settled, dry and fine conditions are expected in the north and east of the country this afternoon, while the southern counties can expect heft, slow-moving downpours.

These will gradually ease to leave a better end to the day.

Most of us will see a big improvement by early evening with some late sunshine.

Highs of 20C at best and a little close feeling where it stays grey and damp this afternoon.

Another remarkably cold night for the time of year.

Temperatures will fall near freezing point tonight with even a touch of frost possible in rural spots.

Tomorrow, bright or sunny spells initially before cloud rolls into Northern Ireland and the south-west bringing the first signs of rain later.

Staying cool for mid August - we'll have to wait another week or so for things to warm up again.
