Showery rain will persist in the north and west for most of today. It will be drier and brighter across much of Leinster and Munster. These drier and brighter conditions will slowly move northwards later this afternoon and evening, while further heavy showers move into the south, with a chance of thunderstorms and some spot flooding in Munster and south Leinster this evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees, mildest in Leinster and Munster, in moderate to fresh southerly winds.

Tonight, showery rain with some embedded thunderstorms in the south with a continued risk of spot flooding. It will be mostly dry with clear spells and patches of mist and fog further north to start but the showery rain will extend from the south as the night goes but northern fringes should have a mostly dry night. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees in light southeasterly or variable winds.

Tomorrow morning will be cloudy and wet over the northern half of the country with some heavy or thundery showery rain continuing. While sunny spells will develop elsewhere although a further scattering of heavy showers are possible mostly in Munster and Connacht through the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in light southerly breezes.
