Weather forecast

Saturday is forecast to be a warm and humid day, with temperatures reaching 21-26°C throughout Munster and Leinster, slightly less elsewhere.

Thicker cloud across parts of north Ulster and north Connacht will bring outbreaks of rain and drizzle during the day, but it'll be generally dry elsewhere.

Met Éireann has said that heavier rain will develop along the Atlantic seaboard during the evening.

A status yellow rainfall warning is in place for Saturday night, as high-intensity rainfall is forecast over a relatively short period of time for many areas. The rain is associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Ernesto.
