Weather conditions for the remainder of the week will be “changeable”, although rain spells will continue to dominate.
After a wet start to the week, with status-yellow rain warnings issued by Met Éireann for four counties on Monday, the forecaster has predicted more showery days ahead.
Wednesday morning will be dull and wet with widespread rain, heavy at times. The rain will gradually clear northwards, leaving conditions drier for the afternoon and evening with just patches of light rain or drizzle. Highest temperatures will be between 13 and 17 degrees with light to moderate southerly winds.
There will be some mist and fog too, continuing into the night which is set to be cloudy, with more rain.
