After a weekend of violent storms, the good news is that the
country will return to normal. If you live in the north of the
country, there will be some heavy rain through the night,
but by morning this will disappear and you’ll have a day of
bright sunshine. You won’t get any rain if you live further
south, but expect some strong winds after midday. Other
than that, you’ll have a beautiful day.
