Highs of 10 to 14 degrees are expected on Tuesday, before dropping to lows of five to nine degrees that night.
Rain is set to linger in the east for a time on Wednesday while the rest of the country will see sunshine and scattered showers, though it will be a “blustery day”.
Highs of eight to 12 degrees are expected before falling to lows of three to seven degrees on Wednesday night.
Showers are set to continue along the west coast on Wednesday night though conditions will be largely dry elsewhere.
Wet and windy conditions will continue and are set to intensify on Thursday, with heavy falls likely across the country that day, gradually spreading to the east.
