"Well, the weather warning stays in places until 10am this morning for the south and south-east," he said.
"The rains primarily this morning will clear the east and south-east of the country by 11am or 12pm, so by noon it will begin to brighten up.
"Indeed a very wet start, and if people are commuting to work it will be very wet early on this morning.
