Bring a brolly!
If the latest weather report is anything to go by, it’s going to be pretty wet and miserable today.
We’re in for a good bit of rain across the country, but at least the temperatures are rising to hopefully/maybe 9 degrees.
According to Met Éireann, “some showers in the west and along the south coast at first this morning with some hazy sunshine in the east.
Further scattered showers across west Ulster, Connacht and west Munster tonight but largely dry elsewhere with long clear spells. Becoming less windy with temperatures falling to between minus 2 and plus 2 degrees allowing frost and ice to form. pic.twitter.com/BIlvYdZoZS

“However, cloud will soon thicken in all areas with showery rain developing in Atlantic coastal counties during the morning. The showery rain will extend gradually eastwards during the afternoon but it looks set to remain mostly dry across east Leinster and east Ulster until evening time.
“Maximum temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees in freshening southerly winds.”
