Best of weather in the afternoon, sunny tomorrow

Weather update from Met Éireann

After another fairly cloudy start today (Saturday), better sunny spells will develop through the day, sparking off scattered showers in the afternoon. The showers will be quite heavy with a chance of isolated thunderstorms and hail locally along with the chance of some surface water flooding associated with the more intense showers. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees in light southeasterly or variable breezes.

There'll be clear spells and isolated showers tonight at first, before cloudier conditions and showery rain develops later. Lowest temperatures 8 to 11 degrees in light southerly or variable breezes.

Showery rain on Sunday morning will clear eastwards to leave a day of sunny spells and widespread showers, some heavy. Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees, coolest along Atlantic coasts as light southwesterly breezes gradually increase moderate westerly.

Any lingering showers will die out and Sunday night will be mainly dry. Lowest temperatures 7 to 9 degrees in mostly light westerly winds.

Sunny spells and scattered showers for Monday, with most areas becoming dry by evening. Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees generally in a light to moderate northwesterly wind, a degree or so cooler in parts of Ulster due to that northwesterly wind.

Tuesday looks like it will continue mainly dry with light winds, rather cloudy at times with best of the sunny spells in the south.

Current indications suggest that there will be a good deal of dry and at times sunny weather through to midweek with just isolated showers. Temperatures continuing to reach the mid to high teens with mostly light winds.
