The strong winds of Storm Claudio also look set to subside for the next couple of days.

But if we do get a dry spell, it won’t last – Saturday is expected to be a total wash-out with strong winds of up to 35mph.

Unfortunately Sunday won’t be much better, as the Met Office has forecast that there will be even more rain on the way, although there may also be some sunny spells scattered through the afternoon.

That rain will also continue into next week, according to the forecast.
