Easter Monday – a day for lounging around consuming large amounts of chocolate while watching movies.
And if you’re feeling guilty for not making more of your Bank Holiday… don’t: it’s pretty miserable out there today.
In fact, a rainfall warning is currently in place for Wexford, Wicklow, Cork, and Waterford.
Across the country, Met Eireann has also warned of heavy showers of rain and sleet – showers that are only going to get heavier as the day progresses.
With a yellow warning in place, we’re being told of “heavy rain and strong easterly winds”. Met Eireann adds: “Further rain, sleet and hill snow for much of Monday in the far north. Elsewhere turning less cold with rain gradually giving way to showers.”

Another recent Met Eireann update from Monday morning reads: “Scattered falls of rain for a time this morning, especially further north of the country with some wintry falls here.
“Brightening up a small bit through the day with brisk easterly winds easing too, however scattered heavy showers will follow, especially across Leinster, with rain and sleet lingering across northern counties.”

Meanwhile, maximum temperatures across the southern half of the country will range from 8C to 12C. In northern parts it’ll be colder: highs of only 3C to 7C.
On Monday night a lot of those showers will continue, especially in the far north and far south. Except mist and ground frost too. Lowest temperatures will range from 1C to 6C.
