Friday doesn't sound much more promising, with forecasters anticipating: "Mist and fog patches will clear quickly tomorrow with sunny spells for a time in the morning."
"But cloud will gradually thicken with rain developing in the West and South by midday and spreading to the rest of the country in the afternoon."
