Dublin weather: Met Eireann forecast strong winds for capital with dull weekend on the way

"Strong winds" are set to hit Dublin today, Met Eireann has warned.

The "strong and gusty westerly winds" will be in the capital for a time this morning, as lingering rain and drizzle clears with some hazy sunny spells. It will be dry for much of the afternoon before outbreaks of rain develop towards evening with strengthening southwesterly winds.

Highest temperatures today will reach 11 or 12 degrees. Tonight will be "dull, breezy and damp" with outbreaks of rain and drizzle and lowest temperatures of 8 to 10 degrees.

Tomorrow will see a breezy and mostly cloudy start in Dublin with scattered patches of light rain and drizzle, becoming more isolated through the afternoon with long dry periods and some sunny spells. Highest temperatures will reach 11 or 12 degrees with fresh, occasionally strong, westerly winds, easing later.

While there is no further forecast for Dublin, here is what Met Eireann's National Outlook says:

Sunday

"Rain over Ulster will clear eastwards during the morning, leaving a mostly dry day though there will be some patchy light rain and drizzle, mainly in the west and northwest. Highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in moderate southwest winds, freshening in the northwest and west through the afternoon.

Monday

"Another mild and mostly cloudy day with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, predominately affecting the west and northwest while staying mostly dry elsewhere. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in moderate, occasionally fresh, southwest winds.

"Some clear spells will develop overnight but it will still be mostly cloudy with scattered patches of light rain and drizzle. Lowest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees in light to moderate southwest breezes with mist and hill fog developing.

Tuesday

"Mostly cloudy with just limited hazy sunny spells. Patches of light rain and drizzle will continue through the morning and afternoon before a band of more persistent rain moves over Atlantic coastal counties during the evening. Highest temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees in moderate, occasionally fresh south to southwest winds."
