Ireland will be hit by heavy rain, thunder and hail on the Friday ahead of a mixed weather weekend.
Temperatures are expected to remain mild for the next few days, but Friday and Sunday will unfortunately bring a lot of downpours.
Saturday will bring some rain, but it will remain mostly sunny with pleasant highs of 14C.
While things are looking pretty bad for Monday as well, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays appear to be dry with long, sunny spells.
