Weather forecast
It will be breezy and mostly cloudy today. Outbreaks of rain will affect Atlantic-coast counties, with just the odd spot appearing elsewhere later. Sunny spells in parts too though, best of these further east, where it will stay largely dry. Highest temperatures of 12°C to 16°C, mildest across the north midlands and north Leinster. Southwest winds will be moderate to fresh.
It will be rather cloudy tonight with some light rain possible. Lowest temperatures of 3°C to 8°C, coolest in the southwest of Munster, where skies will be clearer. Winds will be light to moderate southwesterly.
