WEATHER Saturday: Any overnight mist or fog will clear early on Saturday to give a mostly dry start with sunny spells, though patchy drizzle will affect southern counties. During the afternoon, thickening cloud along with outbreaks of rain will gradually move in across the western half of Ireland, heaviest closest to the Atlantic coast. Much of the east and northeast will likely stay dry with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees generally in moderate to fresh southeasterly winds.

Sunday: A wet start in many areas with widespread falls of rain early, followed in turn by heavy showers with the chance of hail. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees, but turning cooler as the rain clears. Breezy in moderate to fresh southwesterly winds. For more go to met.ie.
