It will be heavy, especially in Atlantic coastal counties and along the south coast during the afternoon and evening, where some spot flooding is possible.
Top temperatures will reach values of 11°C to 13°C, in fresh to strong and gusty southerly winds, but very strong at times along Atlantic coasts.
A status yellow wind warning is in effect for counties Donegal, Galway, Mayo and Kerry for Wednesday, where southerly winds of 50km/h to 65 km/h are expected with gusts of 90km/h to 110km/h along coastal areas.
Wednesday night rain is forecast to be widespread and locally heavy for a time before clearing southeastwards overnight.
