Met Éireann say that the weather is going to be warm and mostly dry today

The weather has been a mixed bag lately.

There's been rain and wind, it's been cold and warm... it's just been all over the place. However, while there will be a small bit of rain spreading from the west to the east coast, it will be mainly dry and warm today. Met Éireann said: "Today will start mainly dry with some sunshine. However, rain on west coasts will spread across the country during the day, reaching the east early this afternoon and the southeast by evening. A clearance will follow in the west and north later in the day. "Highest temperatures of 16 to 18 degrees. It will become breezy with the rain with fresh southerly winds."
