People will probably find Ireland’s first weekend locked up a bit easier with the miserable conditions to come.
From the looks of it, not many would want to go out, as heavy rains and very strong winds are set to hit the country for a few days.
Met Eireann said the bleak prediction stems from a “low pressure area” that will make its way across the country this weekend.
While the next few days are not looking very good, things will get worse starting Friday night.

“The winds will turn in a northwesterly direction and cool during the day. The highest temperatures are between 10 ° C and 15 ° C, the mildest in the southeast.
