Met Eireann has forecasted brutal conditions this week as a low-pressure system will dominate Ireland.
Although a potential storm that was brewing in the Atlantic will stay well south of Ireland, the national forecaster has predicted storm-like weather over the next few days.
Today will start off dull, damp, and breezy with a band of more persistent rain that will move up from the southwest in the morning. Sunny spells will develop in the afternoon but thundery showers will follow too, with possible spot flooding and isolated thunderstorms. It will be a mild day with the highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees.
