Some outbreaks of rain will affect parts of Munster, Connacht and Ulster in the morning, spreading eastwards heading into the afternoon. This evening, the northwest will see a “more persistent” band of rain move in, with “moderate to fresh and gusty” southwest winds.
Rain may turn heavy in the southern half of the country overnight as the temperatures drop.
