Weather forecast

Met Éireann is forecasting a bright, fresh day once overnight drizzle clears the southeast. Sunny spells and cloudy periods will leave most places dry, although a few showers are expected on northern coasts, moving inland in the north later. Top temperatures will range between 15°C and 18°C in moderate, northwest winds, getting increasingly blustery along northern coasts.
