That’s according to Met Éireann which said rain and showers will persist in most areas on Friday with “more showers and patches of rain” across Saturday and Sunday.
The national forecaster said there will be “a bit more in the way of dry weather too, as high pressure starts to move closer to us”.
“It does look like that’ll bring some dry and bright weather for the early days of next week,” said Met Éireann meteorologist Aoife Kealy.
