Mix of sunny spells and showers, some thundery

Weather update from Met Éireann

Staying unsettled and turning cooler but with drier conditions for Sunday and Monday.

That's the latest weather outlook from Met Éireann.

Dull, damp and breezy this morning with patches of mist and drizzle - some coastal fog too, especially in the southeast. A band of more persistent rain will move up from the southwest during the morning. While sunny spells will develop in the afternoon, thundery showers will follow, with possible spot flooding and isolated thunderstorms. Blustery too, in fresh and gusty southwest winds, strong at times in the west. Another mild day with highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees.

Becoming mostly dry and clear early tonight as any remaining showers clear into the Irish Sea, though further scattered heavy showers will feed into Atlantic coastal counties later. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in moderating south to southwest winds.

Thursday will bring sunny spells and scattered showers, locally heavy or thundery. Cloud and outbreaks of rain will feed into southern counties during the evening. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees in mostly moderate to fresh southwesterly winds.

Outbreaks of rain will spread northwards overnight on Thursday, heaviest and most persistent in southern counties. Lowest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees in variable winds, fresh to strong at times near coasts.

Cloudy or dull on Friday with outbreaks of rain, driest early on in the north and later brightening up in the west but with some heavy showers possible too. Highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees, in mostly moderate northwesterly winds.

Cool and breezy on Saturday with sunny spells and occasional showers, possibly heavy or thundery later. Highest temperatures 9 to 12 degrees, in rather brisk northwest winds. Becoming drier and clearer after dark, but chilly with frost setting in as temperatures widely dip close to freezing.

A drier, brighter and calmer day is likely on Sunday with sunny spells and just isolated light showers. Highest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees, in just light northerly breezes.
