Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “An area of low pressure to the north west of the UK will bring very wet and windy conditions to parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and north west England through the start of the week.

"As the system moves through by the middle of the week high pressure moves in and this will bring more settled conditions into the weekend, with good spells of sunshine it could feel like the first hints of Spring.”

The Met Office said South Yorkshire will have dry and bright sunny spells start to the day but will turn increasingly cloudy during the afternoon, although it will remain dry with a maximum temperature of 12°C.

Tonight, it will be largely dry and rather windy, locally gusty at times and some outbreaks of rain are expected, with a minimum temperature of 10°C.
