Dublin weather: Early morning mist will give way to glorious sunny spells before 'heavy downpours' return

Many Dubliners are waking up to misty conditions this morning, although according to Met Eireann forecasters the misty patches will soon clear to give a dry, glorious day with sunny spells.

The unusual swing in the weather is being caused by high pressure, and it will give maximum temperatures ranging from 18 to 21 degrees in mostly light breezes. It will be dry early tonight with long clear spells. However, cloud will thicken from the south later in the night.

Minimum temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in light to moderate southeast breezes. However, the grim weather is set to make a return on Sunday, with heavy, persistent rain on the way.

Met Eireann have a status yellow rain warning in place from 2:00 am tonight until midnight on Sunday due to the arrival of “high amounts of rainfall may cause some disruption and spot flooding, with highest amounts in mountainous areas.”

According to Met Eireann, rain will spread from the south on Sunday morning, turning "heavy and persistent" in places by afternoon. Isolated thundery downpours are possible along with the potential for localised flooding. Humid and breezy on Sunday with highest temperatures of 17 to 19 degrees in fresh southerly winds.

Sunday night: Further outbreaks of rain on Sunday night, heavy in places. Fairly mild and humid overnight with lowest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees with moderate breezes, varying in direction.

Monday: On Monday, patchy rain and drizzle will become largely confined to the southeast of the country with sunny spells developing elsewhere. Top temperatures will range from a rather fresh 15 or 16 degrees in the north to 20 or 21 degrees in the south.

Mostly dry on Monday night with long clear spells and just the chance of a few showers in the northwest. A cooler night than recently with lowest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in light northerly winds.
