The rain is set to ease on Tuesday, however a few showers could be possible.
More wet and windy conditions are predicted to return mid-week.
The Met Office forecast for next week reads: "The period is expected to begin on an unsettled note, with a spell of cloud, wind and rain across many parts of the UK.
"The rain is likely to be heavy in places and there is a small chance that the winds could cause some disruption. An exception to this will likely be the far north of the UK, which is expected to remain under cooler, more showery conditions."
