Enjoy the sunshine today, weather's going to turn this evening
A mainly dry and bright day today with widespread sunny spells. However, it will begin to turn cloudier from the southwest this evening. Quite cool with highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in a light westerly breeze, becoming light to moderate southeasterly later.
A wet and windy night tonight, according to Met Eireann, with heavy rain spreading from the southwest. Southeast winds will increase fresh to strong and gusty as the rain spreads. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees will occur early on, with conditions turning milder as the night goes on.
There will be further heavy rain tomorrow morning but this will clear northwards early on to leave a mostly dry day with a mix of sunny spells and isolated showers. A much milder day than recently with highest temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees in moderate southwesterly winds.
Remaining breezy on Saturday night. Scattered showers will mainly affect the south and west with dry spells developing elsewhere. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees, coolest over Ulster, in mainly moderate southerly winds, fresh at times in the southwest.
Sunday looks like being another blustery day with widespread showers turning heavy at times, particularly over the western half of the country, with the risk of hail. Highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees in moderate to fresh southerly winds.
Showers will become lighter and more scattered on Sunday night, with some clear spells. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in moderate southerly winds.

Monday night: Showers will continue through Monday night, though they will become lighter and more scattered as the night goes on. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 9 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly winds.
Tuesday: Yet another showery day on Tuesday with widespread showers of rain and hail turning heavy through the morning and afternoon. There will be a risk of isolated thunderstorms, especially over the western half of the country. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees.
