Weather Forecast

[upbeat music] Now we'll go to Met Éireann and Liz Walsh.

Thanks, Sarah, and good morning. Well, it's definitely feeling rather cool and autumnal out there this morning, and we are looking at a rather seasonally typical changeable pattern through the forecast outlook. It's gonna be quite breezy too over the next few days. So mainly dry and calm to begin today, Thursday, with some sunshine about in the east, but cloudy conditions already in the west with wet and breezy conditions developing, and they'll spread eastwards this morning. Rain and drizzle will be widespread across the country this afternoon, heaviest and most persistent in the west and north. A Status Yellow rainfall warning has been issued for Donegal, and that is valid from four PM today to four AM on Friday. Rather cool today with afternoon highs of just nine to thirteen degrees generally. But somewhat counterintuitively, it will become milder from the west this evening and early tonight, becoming breezy today too, with southwesterly winds increasing moderate to fresh as the rain arrives. So mostly cloudy, breezy, and mild tonight, with patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle turning heavy at times in the west and northwest. A clearance to showers will push into the northwest later in the night. Lows of twelve to fifteen degrees for most, but dropping to between nine and eleven degrees towards morning in the northwest. Moderate to fresh southwesterly winds will become westerly overnight. So it's gonna be a dull and damp start to tomorrow, Friday, in the east and south, but any rain and drizzle will soon clear southeastwards, giving way to brighter, fresher conditions with sunny spells and scattered blustery showers spreading from the northwest. Afternoon highs will range from eleven to fourteen degrees in moderate to fresh and gusty westerly winds, strong along western and northern coasts. Saturday will be another rather breezy day with sunny spells and showers, but Sunday is looking mainly dry at present with brighter sunny spells to begin. But turning cloudier from the west as the day goes on, with some rain and drizzle possible in southwestern and southern coastal parts on S- uh, Sunday afternoon and evening. Top temperatures will range from around eleven to fourteen or fifteen degrees on both days. Briefly recapping for today then, some sunshine in the east at first today, but turning mostly cloudy and breezy from the west, with rain and drizzle becoming widespread this afternoon. Rather cool, with afternoon highs of just nine to thirteen degrees. That's the forecast. Have a great day.
