But it's not all bad

It’s not great, but it’s not bad either.

After a pretty stormy few days it seems like there will be a few changes in the weather today.

We will finally see a little bit of sun, and thankfully, winds won’t be as harsh.

According to Met Éireann, today will see wind “light to moderate over land, southwesterly in direction for the most part but becoming variable in direction later and still fresh along the west coast at times.

“There’ll be sunshine and showers, the showers will be most frequent in the north at first, then in the west of the country, merging to give longer spells of rain at times in the west and southwest later.

“Highest temperatures will be between 4 and 7 degrees.”

However, tonight will be a little bit frostier, with temperatures dropping to -2.

“The showers will continue for a time in the southwest, then a new batch of showers will develop in the north and northeast, these extending down the eastern coastal counties overnight, turning wintry on hills and mountains.

“Temperatures will fall to between zero and minus 2 degrees and light northeast winds will become moderate to fresh by morning.”
