It is due to sweep in from mid morning and last until mid afternoon. The band of rain is spreading northeastwards, the forecast says. By the late evening the rain is set to clear.
Tomorrow (January 16) is set to be drier but the rain is set to make another appearance towards the end of the weekend and into the start of next week.
