"A few clear spells early evening, but rain reaches the north coast by midnight," they add. They say the maximum temperature will be 11 °C.

Meanwhile the outlook for Tuesday to Thursday is: "Rain clearing early Tuesday with some sunny spells in the north and east.

"Often bright with light winds Wednesday and Thursday, perhaps some light drizzle Thursday. Turning colder."

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the UK, those with tickets for London's fireworks show or Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations will see temperatures of around 8C, but are still being urged to wrap up warm for the outdoors.

Forecasters say the week's warmer than usual weather will round off a year which saw scorching summer temperatures across the UK.
