ICON, forecast temperatures, 15:00 GMT Mon 5th November
During Tuesday and Wednesday a band of rain steadily pushes eastwards. Cooler and showery conditions follow on from the west.

If that is the case all regions of the UK can expect outbreaks of rain at times with the wettest conditions in the west.
