National Outlook
Overview: Overall a lot of dry, albeit mostly cloudy weather over the weekend. There'll be a little rain and drizzle at times too, mainly in Ulster and Connacht and especially so in parts of the north and northwest, but this will gradually clear away during the early days of next week and it'll become sunnier and warmer more widely by Tuesday or Wednesday as high pressure, situated to the southwest initially, moves up over Ireland.
Friday night: A few clear spells across parts of the south and east, but mostly cloudy with a little patchy light rain, drizzle and mist, mainly affecting the north and west, along with some hill fog. Mild and humid with temperatures falling no lower than 13 to 16 degrees in mostly moderate southwest winds, a little fresher in northwestern coastal parts.
Saturday: A few bright or sunny spells are likely in the south and southeast, but it'll be mostly cloudy elsewhere. It'll be dry across the bulk of the country, though there'll be a little patchy light rain and drizzle in parts of Ulster and a drizzle too in Connacht, mainly in the west and north. There'll be a little mist and hill fog too in the northwest. A wide range in temperatures, with highs of just 15 to 18 degrees across parts of the north and west, but elsewhere ranging from 19 to 23 degrees, warmest under the brighter skies further to the south and southeast. Winds will be mostly moderate, occasionally fresh for a time, west to southwesterly.
Saturday night: Mainly dry, though mostly cloudy and with a little drizzle and mist in the north and parts of the west. Mild and humid with temperatures falling no lower than 13 to 16 degrees, with southwest winds decreasing mostly light to moderate.
Sunday: Once again a few bright or sunny spells are likely in the south and southeast, while it'll continue mostly cloudy elsewhere. Dry for most, though with some light rain and drizzle and mist at times in Ulster, mainly further to the north and west and with the chance of a few spots of drizzle too in west and north Connacht. A similar temperature profile across the country as compared to Saturday, with highs of just 15 to 18 degrees across parts of the north and west, but elsewhere ranging from 19 to 24 degrees, warmest under the brighter skies further to the south and southeast. Winds will be mostly moderate southwesterly, a little fresher in coastal parts of the west and north.
Monday: There'll be a little drizzle here and there on Monday, becoming more confined to the north by Monday afternoon. Another mostly cloudy day for a time, though a few bright or sunny spells are likely later, especially across the east and south. A little warmer overall, with highest temperatures of around 17 to 19 degrees in coastal parts of the northwest and west, but generally ranging from 20 to 24 degrees, warmest in the east and south. Winds will be mostly moderate westerly.
Tuesday: While there's still a chance of a little drizzle into Tuesday, this will be dying away as high pressure to the southwest moves closer. There's likely to still be a good lot of cloud around too, before better sunny spells develop later. Highest temperatures of 18 degrees in the northwest up to 24 degrees in the southeast, in mostly moderate westerly winds.
Wednesday: By Wednesday, the Azores high will have moved up over Ireland and it's going to a dry day with plenty of sunshine. Highest temperatures of 20 to 26 degrees generally, a little higher in parts of the east and southeast, a touch lower in western coastal parts, in light to moderate westerly or variable breezes.
Further outlook: The rest of the week will likely bring a continuation of mostly settled, often sunny and warm conditions, though there is chance that a weather front may break through from the Atlantic to bring more cloud and a little bit of rain for a time.
