Despite the cloud, it will feel mild, with maximum temperatures reaching 14°C.

It will be another mild night, with temperatures not expected to drop below 9°C.

Thursday will begin mostly dry, although there may be some lingering drizzle around hills.

However, conditions are set to turn wet and windy as the day progresses, with some heavy rain possible. Temperatures will remain above average, with highs of around 12°C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday

Looking ahead to Friday 27th February through to Sunday 1st March, the unsettled conditions continue.

Further rain is expected at times on Friday. Saturday is forecast to be drier and perhaps brighter, before more rain arrives later in the day and continues into Sunday.

It is also expected to be often windy through this period, with temperatures returning to average levels for the time of year.
