Today

Mainly dry in the east at first today with a few bright spells. Showers in the west will merge to a more persistent spell of heavy rain this morning, with a risk of hail and thunder, with the rain spreading to most areas later today. Top temperatures 4 to 8 degrees. Some of the rain will turn to sleet and snow in Munster and Leinster, mainly later this afternoon and evening. Brisk northwest winds will develop in the southwest later today, but winds will be lighter and more variable elsewhere.

Tonight

Outbreaks of rain, sleet and hill snow will gradually clear southwards tonight, and cold clear spells will develop, with frost and the risk of icy patches developing before dawn. Lowest temperatures of 0 to plus 2 degrees. Light to moderate northerly winds developing over land will be fresh to strong and gusty near coasts.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow Thursday will be a cold, dry and sunny day for many, however, showers will persist in east Leinster and also in parts of Connacht and west Ulster, where there is a risk of hail. Maximum temperatures will range 5 to 8 degrees, but it will feel chillier in the brisk northerly winds, which will be strong and gusty near coasts.
