Met Éireann predict patches of drizzle and sunny spells for the weekend

Well, as in it won’t be bucketing down.

A lot of the country got lashed out of it this week, and it wasn’t a great time at all. We’ve basically become hermits now and just want to go straight home after work everyday.

However, if you have plans for the weekend you might get away with the weather being not too shabby – depending what part of the country you’re in, of course.

Met Éireann has predicted that we’re not in for too bad a day, saying: “Fog will gradually clear this morning to give a largely dry day. However occasional patches of drizzle and light will occur across Leinster and Munster. Cloud will break up at times over the west and north of the country and sunny breaks will develop there. Highest temperatures of 12 to 14 degrees in southeasterly breezes.”

While tonight it will be: “Mainly dry tonight with good clear periods and lows of 4 to 6 degrees.”

Tomorrow is not looking too bad either, with the weather forecaster saying: “Saturday will again be mainly dry and bright day, although some mist or drizzle will still affect some parts. Highs of 11 to 13 degrees in southeast winds.”

And for Sunday: “A bright and fresh day with good spells of sunshine. Highs of 9 to 11 degrees in fresh southeasterly winds; much cooler along the Leinster and south-Munster coast with the onshore wind. Cold overnight with lows of 2 to 5 degrees, grass frost in places.”

Listen, it could be a lot worse.
