"Cloudy and misty tonight with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle, and with some moderate falls possible. There'll be some hill fog too. A mild night with temperatures not falling below 9 to 13 degrees, so similar to the daytime values.

"Tomorrow, Thursday, will be a rather windy day and it'll be cloudy for a time, with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle, along with some mist and hill and coastal fog.

"A band of more persistent rain will spread from the west through the morning and early afternoon, and will be followed by brighter, drier weather with sunshine.
