The weather in Ireland is due to be “unsettled and changeable” for the rest of the week, with low pressure dominating, according to Met Éireann.
Spells of rain will continue into the Bank Holiday and next week. There will be “some drier interludes too with spells of sunshine”, the forecaster said, with cooler temperatures expected over the weekend.
Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will continue to spread northeastwards on Tuesday morning. It will become lighter and patchier by evening time, with a good deal of dry weather at that stage, though it will remain mostly cloudy.
Highest temperatures will be between 10 to 14 degrees over the northern half of the country, with light winds. It will be milder and breezier further south with highs of 14 to 18 degrees in moderate to fresh southwest to west winds.

“The unsettled weather will continue for the June Bank Holiday weekend with spells of rain and showers at times,” Met Éireann said.

The rain will clear into the Irish Sea, with sunshine and a scattering of showers following, some heavy in the northwest, with the chance of thunder.”
