Forecasters have said things are set to be relatively grim over the coming days, with showery conditions and winds picking up speed thanks to the tropical storm headed in our direction.
The worst of Storm Alex is due to remain out in the Atlantic, giving conditions a chance to settle towards the weekend - however it is due to be windy as a result.
As the weekend unfolds, the weather is due to ease and spells of sunshine will begin to break through before a ‘settled’ change next week.
