Rainy weather is expected to develop today, with increasing clouds during the morning hours. Showers and possible thunderstorms will follow, starting after 10am, and will continue into the afternoon and early evening. The rain may be heavy at times, leading to standing water on roads.

Strong southeasterly winds will also be a factor, gusting up to 35 mph and making umbrellas ineffective. The weather is expected to improve later, with sunshine and warmer temperatures returning on Tuesday.

Further details on the forecast are available, including the timing and intensity of the rain and wind. Ken Barlow is providing updates on the developing weather situation.
