Dublin weather: Met Eireann warn of possible hail and thundery downpours in capital today

Met Eireann have warned that the bad weather spell is not over as hail and thundery downpours will possibly hit Dublin today.

They have forecast largely dry conditions in the capital this morning but said it will become wetter in the afternoon and evening with occasional outbreaks of rain or showers. There is a chance of some hail and thundery downpours as well.

It will stay quite cool with highs of around 10 or 11 degrees. Variable winds, mainly light to moderate in strength, though it will remain blustery at times near the coast.

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

Saturday

"Saturday will have a dull and damp start with outbreaks of rain gradually clearing eastwards through the morning and afternoon. Sunny spells will then follow with some scattered showers, mainly affecting Atlantic coastal counties. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees. Light to moderate southwesterly winds, turning blustery at times near coasts.

Sunday

"A mix of sunny spells and showers, mainly affecting the western half of the country. Highs of 10 to 13 degrees in light to moderate south or southwest winds.
