This weekend will be a mix of rain and wind amid “mixed” weather conditions before a dip in temperatures next week, Met Éireann has said.
The “changeable” weather fortunes will bring “dry and bright” spells accompanied by intermittent showers and chillier temperatures expected from Tuesday onwards.
The amalgamation of dry and wet weather is caused by low pressure in the north and high pressure in the south of the country, leading to breezy showers and calmer periods.
While there will be a drop in temperatures, they are expected to be above normal for this time of the year.
Friday morning will be mostly dry and sunny with isolated showers in the west and northwest and thickening clouds over the afternoon along Atlantic counties. Temperatures will range between 15C and 20C.
Rain will increase through the night as rain spreads from the west, heaviest in the north and west with lowest temperatures from 10C to 15C.
Saturday will see more mild daytime temperatures when morning rain will be mostly confined to the south. Temperatures will fall between 16C and 21C, dropping to between 9C and 13C with a mostly dry night in store.
Sunday is forecast to be dry in most areas, although cloudy, with sunny spells emerging throughout. Temperatures will range from 16C and 21C, dipping to 12C to 14C in the night as rain increases overnight in western coastal counties.
A “wet and breezy” start to the week is predicted on Monday with widespread showers, heavy in parts, and sunny spells in parts. Temperatures will be between 17C and 21C.
Temperatures will began to fall on Tuesday, ranging from 14C and 18C amid rain in the west and north.
