Weather forecast

The weather is forecast to be wet and windy across Leinster and Ulster at first on Tuesday, but Met Éireann has said that the rain will clear mid-morning and the southerly winds ease as brighter conditions extend across the country.

Showers are then forecast to be mainly in the western half of the country, with long dry periods in many places during the afternoon.

Highest temperatures will range between 6°C and 9°C in moderate southwest breezes.
