Ireland is set for a miserable weekend, with heavy rains, thunderstorms and floods to hit the country.
And there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight to the grim conditions, with Met Eireann predicting that they will last at least until Wednesday.
Despite a good morning, tonight the bad weather band will arrive.
One forecaster said: “Most areas will be dry today with bright spells of winter sunshine and well-scattered rains, mostly in the western and northwestern counties.

“However, clouds and rain will reach the extreme southwest later tonight. Highest temperatures will range from 6 ° C to 10 ° C seasonally, with light to moderate winds from west to southwest.
“It is cold early tonight with frost under a clear sky. Although it will become milder, it will become humid and quite windy as well, as a band of stormy rain continues to rise from the southwest with fresh to strong southeast winds.
“Some lighter periods in the south and west for later. The lowest temperatures will range between 0 ° C and 5 ° C, and the coldest in the north and east.
“More pulses of heavy and sometimes stormy rain advancing from the southwest early Sunday with spot flooding.”
They added: “Some sunny or bright spells later, but also occasional showers, especially in the southern and western coastal counties.
“Humid and windy, with fresh, gusty south winds. The highest temperatures will range between 8 ° C and 12 ° C, the best values further south.
“Stormy rains or longer periods of rain overnight on Sunday, with moderate to cool, gusty southerly winds. Lower temperatures 5 ° C to 8 ° C.”
Sadly, this shocking weather streak will continue into next week.
Met Eireann’s five-day forecast warns of “sometimes wet and windy spell instability.”
