Outlook

Headline: Changeable, with a noticeable chill in the air.

Saturday night: Showers will retreat to Atlantic coastal counties on Saturday night, where they will continue to be occasionally heavy with hail, and a risk of thunder, but gradually easing by morning. Long clear periods will allow temperatures to fall between 1 and 5 degrees Celsius with frosts forming away from coasts. Fresh to strong and gusty northwesterly winds will reduce moderate inland.

Sunday: Sunday will be the drier day of the weekend with spells of sunshine occurring in most parts. Still a few showers around though, especially through west Ulster and north Connacht, but becoming isolated by evening. Highs of 8 to 11 Celsius with northwesterly winds gradually abating.

Sunday night: Relatively clear skies and slack winds on Sunday night over the eastern side of country, will produce a fairly widespread frost, at least for a time, over Leinster, East Ulster and east Munster as temperatures drop to between 0 to +2 degrees. Further west, increasingly cloudy skies with patchy rain and drizzle developing overnight will contribute to an early minimum temperature in these areas ranging 2 to 6 degrees but rising to between 6 and 12 degrees towards the end of the night.

Monday: Some early brightness in the east will soon cloud over, as patchy rain and drizzle gradually extends from the west. Outbreaks of rain will become persistent and heavy in the west and northwest from afternoon, spreading to all areas later, accompanied by strengthening southerly winds. Highs of 10 to 13 degrees. Widespread heavy rain for a time on Monday night clearing to showers from the west, as winds veer northwesterly. Lows of 3 to 6 degrees.

Tuesday: Remaining rain in eastern areas clearing, with brighter, sunnier intervals and showers extending from the west. A cold day with afternoon temperatures in single digits and light to moderate west to northwest winds. Becoming largely dry on Tuesday night, with clear spells and just isolated showers affecting Atlantic coastal regions. Current indications are for a very cold night with widespread frost.

Wednesday: At the moment, Wednesday looks largely dry with sunny spells but still rather cool.
