Highest temperatures generally 17 to 20 degrees, with a moderate to fresh and gusty west to southwest wind.

TONIGHT

Tonight will bring clear spells and a few showers at first. It will turn more cloudy overnight with outbreaks of rain developing, mainly over Connacht and Ulster and turning heavy in places.

Mild and becoming humid with temperatures not falling below 10 to 14 degrees, but with a strengthening southwest wind becoming very blustery near to the west and north coast.

TOMORROW

A narrow band of moderate rain in the north and northwest will move gradually southwards during the day breaking up into showers. Good sunny spells will develop in many areas too.

Highest temperatures 16 to 22 degrees, humid in the southeast but with fresher air moving into the northwest. Brisk westerly winds will ease later.
