TODAY - Sunday 31st August
Breezy today and while there'll be a good deal of dry weather across the eastern half of the country at first this morning, showers further west will continue to extend eastwards, some of them heavy at times. A more organised spell of rain in the northwest and west will gradually spread eastwards through the day too. There's the chance of a few isolated thunderstorms, especially further to the northwest and west, while some localised flooding is possible, mainly in the northwest, where the rainfall will be most persistent. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees in mostly fresh and gusty south to southwesterly winds, strong at times in Atlantic coastal parts, with the winds tending to moderate inland later on.
TONIGHT
Further showers will continue to feed in from the west overnight, merging into longer spells of rain at times in the northwest, turning heavy in places. Good dry spells will develop though in eastern parts. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with mostly moderate, occasionally fresh, southwest to west winds, strong along western coasts.
TOMORROW - Monday 1st September
Tomorrow, Monday, will bring some sunny spells and fairly widespread showers, some of those heavy. The showers will ease in the evening and become mostly confined to the west. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees with moderate to fresh westerly winds, decreasing light to moderate southwesterly through the evening.
