A little hazy sunshine on Friday, but generally cloudy. There will be showers along the southwest coast this morning, with others forming along the east coast. These will become more widespread on Friday afternoon, some heavy in Atlantic coastal counties, with a slight risk of thunder. Top temperatures 14°C to 18°C.
On Friday night, showers will become confined to Atlantic coastal districts overnight. Misty elsewhere with a mix of clear periods and some cloudy periods. Lowest temperatures 5°C to 9°C in light to moderate northwest breezes.
Saturday
Some bright or sunny spells on Saturday, but cloudy periods at times also. Some showers about too, a few heavy, with a slight risk of thunder. Highs of 13°C to 17°C. Light to moderate northwest breezes will be fresh on parts of the Atlantic seaboard.
Showers on Saturday evening will die out gradually after dark, so that much of Saturday night should be dry, with some clear spells developing. Lowest temperatures 6°C to 9°C in light northwesterly breezes.
Sunday
Sunday will be a day of bright or sunny spells and occasional showers, some heavy in the afternoon. Top temperatures of 13°C to 17°C. Moderate northwesterly breezes will be fresh in some western coastal areas.
Sunday night will be mostly dry, with clear spells and any evening showers soon dying out. A cool night with lows of 4°C to 7°C in light northwesterly breezes.
Monday
Monday is likely to be mostly dry and bright, with sunny spells in most places. Some scattered showers, mainly over Ulster, but most places dry. Top temperatures 13°C to 17°C. Northwesterly breezes will be mainly light, with some sea breezes developing along south and east coasts. Cool overnight with clear spells and lows of 3°C to 6°C.
In this week's beef management notes, Matthew Halpin discusses breeding progress in the suckler herd and drafting young bulls for slaughter. In dairy, Aidan Brennan asks if now is the best time to cut silage, how much meal to feed young calves and if it’s too dry to sow grass seeds. In sheep, Darren Carty takes a look at tagging lambs, scald and shearing safety. And in tillage, the recent heat is likely to drive on crop growth stages making it important for T2 sprays on winter wheat, final fungicides on winter barley and a range of inputs on spring crops.
