Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow rain warning for three counties as further heavy showers and wind are forecast this week.
Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow will be under a Status Yellow rain warning from midnight until 6pm on Tuesday. Heavy outbreaks of rain may cause localised flooding and difficult travelling conditions in those areas.
The UK Met Office has issued a Yellow rain warning for Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry between 12pm and 6pm today, and and a Yellow wind and rain warning for Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry between 2am and 9pm tomorrow.
It will be dull, wet and breezy today, Monday, with rain becoming widespread this morning and turning heavy at times. A clearance will develop in the southwest and west this afternoon with the rain giving way to sunny spells and the occasional shower, but it’ll remain dull and wet elsewhere.
Highest temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees are forecast, mildest in the southwest. Moderate to fresh, occasionally strong, southeasterly winds will veer light southwesterly or variable as the rain clears.
Patchy rain and drizzle will linger in parts of the east and north early tonight, but it will be mainly dry for a time elsewhere, with a mix of cloud and clear breaks and areas of mist and fog forming. Cloud will thicken everywhere overnight with rain spreading from the east and turning heavy at times.
Lowest temperatures of 0 to 5 degrees, coldest where clear breaks occur. Light variable winds at first will become easterly overnight, increasing fresh to strong and gusty by morning with gales developing on coasts.
It will be wet and windy to begin on Tuesday, with widespread rain, heavy at times, possibly turning wintry for a time about higher ground in the north and northwest during the morning. Clearer, brighter breaks and showers will follow from the south, for a time, before further spells of rain spread up over the country.
Fresh to strong or near gale and gusty easterly winds will be strongest near eastern and southern coasts with gales on coastal fringes. Highest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees are forecast.
Here is Met Eireann’s national outlook for the coming days:
Overview
“Unsettled regime persisting.”
Tuesday night
“Wet and windy at first on Tuesday night with widespread showers or longer spells of rain. Winds will gradually ease overnight and the showers will become scattered with longer clear breaks developing. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees with fresh to strong and gusty easterly winds becoming southerly and easing moderate to fresh by morning.”
Wednesday
“Some early bright spells in the north but overall, rather cloudy with further showers or longer spells of rain feeding up from the south in mostly moderate to fresh southeasterly winds. Highest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees. Showers or longer spells of rain look set to persist through Wednesday night. Some clearer drier breaks may develop in some parts. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees in mostly moderate, occasionally fresh southeasterly winds.”
Thursday
“Another rather cloudy day is signalled with further showers or longer spells of rain. Some limited brighter intervals could occur. Highest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees in light to moderate southeast to east winds, fresher further north.”
Friday
“Again rather cloudy overall with further showers or longer spells of rain, possibly heavy. Highest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees with moderate to fresh easterly winds easing light to moderate southerly.”
Next Weekend
“Little change with the chance of showers or longer spells of rain persisting across most areas as low pressure continues to dominate.”
