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.

“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.”

And as for tonight? Well, it’ll basically be wet and windy for the most part.

“A wet evening with outbreaks of rain but a clearance in the west will extend eastwards early in the night – with the last of the rain clearing the east coast around midnight.

“Clear spells and scattered showers will follow and it will turn colder. Minimum temperatures of 0 to 4 degrees with frost forming by dawn in sheltered spots.”
