Temperatures to hit mid 20s today
Weather update from Met Éireann
Changeable with occasional spells of rain mixed with dry and bright periods. Quite warm at first early in the week but turning fresher and a bit cooler for a time later in the week. That's the latest update from the national weather forecaster.
Today will be a mainly dry day, with a good lot of cloud for a time, but with spells of sunshine developing, the best of these across the midlands and east.
It's likely to stay mostly cloudy in southern and western coastal parts, with some mist at times, but with just a few spots of light drizzle here and there. Towards evening though, cloud will thicken more along western and northwestern coasts, with some light rain and drizzle starting to move in.
A warm and a humid day with highest temperatures generally of 20 to 25 degrees, but lower along western and southern coasts, with highest temperatures there of 17 to 20 degrees, with winds becoming mostly moderate southwesterly, fresher though along the west coast.
Becoming cloudier overnight with scattered patches of rain and drizzle spreading from the west, along with a few patches of mist and fog. Some eastern areas will stay dry until morning. A mild, humid night with temperatures not falling below 11 to 15 degrees in a light breeze.
A generally cloudy day tomorrow (Tuesday) with patchy drizzle slowly moving eastwards. A clearance to bright or sunny spells will develop in the west and northwest later. Highest temperatures of 16 to 21 degrees, coolest along northern and northwestern coasts, in a light northerly breeze.
Patchy rain and drizzle in the east will clear into the Irish Sea early on Tuesday night night and it will turn dry then with clear spells. A few mist or fog patches will form. Lowest temperatures generally of 7 to 11 degrees, in a very light southeast or variable breeze.
A generally dry start to Wednesday with sunny spells. Showery outbreaks of rain will develop during the day especially in parts of the north and west. The southeast may stay dry. Cloud cover will vary in the afternoon. Another warm day with highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees in light to moderate southerly winds, freshening along the west coast.
Thursday will see showery outbreaks of rain push in from the west, though the midlands and southeast will see a lot of dry weather. It'll be breezy in the northwest too, with moderate westerly winds elsewhere. A cooler fresher day with highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees.
During Friday scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle will gradually die out and it will become dry with variable cloud. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees.
Further outlook: Patchy drizzle in places on Saturday but good dry periods too. Winds will be light southwest. A little warmer with temperatures in the mid to high teens.
