It comes as many may be concerned about travel across the country for New Year's Eve celebrations to bring in 2024.
RAC spokesman Rod Dennis said: “Storm Gerrit might have passed but, with another round of distinctly unsettled weather moving in, drivers are going to once again need to be ready to cope with difficult driving conditions in the run up to the new year.
"The most important thing they should do is reduce their speeds, especially on exposed and upland roads, and to always keep a firm hold of the steering wheel to avoid getting buffeted off course by the gusty winds.
"Driving slower also gives motorists more time to react to changing conditions up ahead and this is particularly important during periods of very heavy rainfall which can quickly reduce vehicles’ grip on the road and make driving hazardous."
It is set to turn cloudier in the southwest with rain on Tuesday.
Looking further ahead into 2024, there is a forecast for colder temperatures.
Met Office deputy chief forecaster Nick Silkstone said: "Through to mid-January, there is a signal for a shift in the pattern compared to the winter so far, with more settled and colder-than-average conditions becoming increasingly likely."
