Forecasts show a day full of persistent, heavy <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corkbeo.ie\/all-about\/weather\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">rainfall<\/a>, which won&#8217;t clear up properly until later this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Temperatures in <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corkbeo.ie\/all-about\/cork-city\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">Cork <\/a>today will be fairly mild, reaching a peak of 11\u00baC by noon before dropping slightly and hovering around the high single digits for much of the day. However, due to the wet and windy conditions, it&#8217;ll likely feel colder for those heading out and about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The rainfall will continue throughout much of the morning, lightening up slightly around lunchtime before coming back in force later this evening.

Tuesday will offer a small break from the misery, with moderate, dry conditions, but heavy rainfall is expected to return on Wednesday before the skies clear up heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">You can find the full regional forecast for Munster below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Today<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Cloudy and rather wet this morning with scattered showers moving over some of which are heavy too.
