Weekend Weather Forecast - More rain on the way

Rain is due this week

The current spell of fine weather is set to come to an end on Thursday as showery outbreaks of rain arrive, although forecasters have predicted more sunshine at the weekend.

Sunny spells will continue throughout Wednesday, according to Met Éireann, in most areas before becoming cloudy overnight with rain spreading across the country from the west throughout tomorrow.

Wednesday will be another dry day for most with a mix of sunshine and cloud. While a few light showers may develop, they will be the exception. Highest temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees, mildest in the South, all in a light to moderate northerly breeze.

Tonight will be generally dry under broken cloud with just a few showers across the North and Northwest. Chilly with lowest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees, coldest where clear breaks persist. A few mist patches too with light variable breezes.

Things won't be as good on Thursday with scattered showers in the north and northwest early on Thursday with a few sunny spells elsewhere.

It will become cloudier everywhere through the day with some showery outbreaks of rain developing. Highest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees in light to moderate northerly or variable breezes, coolest across northern and eastern fringes.
