Showers merging to longer spells of rain in parts of Connacht and Ulster on Wednesday night. Thursday: Outbreaks of locally heavy rain in Connacht and Ulster will extend southeastwards to affect west Munster and north Leinster, but the rain will tend to become lighter and patchier as it progresses further south and east with some parts of south Leinster and east Munster holding dry. A blustery day and feeling cool in the fresh and gusty southwest winds which will be strong about the coastal fringes. Maximum temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees, with highest values in the southeast.
