TODAY - Monday 30th June

Generally cloudy today with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the northwest and west and with misty conditions along the south coast. The rain and drizzle will slowly extend eastwards through the day, heaviest and most persistent in the west and north, but it's unlikely to reach much of the east and southeast coast until after nightfall. It'll become drier and a little brighter in the northwest and west in the evening. Highest temperatures of just 14 to 17 degrees in western parts of Connacht and Ulster, but generally 18 to 23 degrees, warmest in the east, with light to moderate southerly winds, gradually veering northwesterly and freshening for a time near southwestern coasts.

TONIGHT

Becoming largely dry tonight as the last of the rain, drizzle and mist clears eastwards overnight, but may linger in the southeast. There'll be some clear spells, mainly in the west. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees generally, milder in the southeast, with light, occasionally moderate north to northwest breezes.

TOMORROW - Tuesday 1st July

I'll start off fairly cloudy tomorrow morning, especially in the east and southeast, with any patchy drizzle in the southeast clearing. Elsewhere there'll be a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with a few isolated showers. Into the afternoon and evening, better sunny spells will develop, with a good lot of dry weather, but with well scattered showers too, some possibly heavy, especially in the south. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 or 20 degrees, warmest in the south, in light, occasionally moderate, north or northwest breezes.
