Dublin weather: Rain to hammer Ireland in grim Met Eireann forecast

Rain will continue to hammer Ireland this week, Met Eireann has confirmed.

Today there will be a "mix of scattered cloud, sunny spells and just a few isolated showers" in Dublin. High cloud will move over during the afternoon making the sunshine rather hazy at times.

The showers will begin to die out later this afternoon too. Highest temperatures will reach 17 to 20 degrees in a light westerly breeze.

Tomorrow will start cloudy and damp in the capital with patches of rain and drizzle. It will brighten up later in the afternoon with some clear and dry spells developing and highest temperatures of 20 to 23 degrees.

Later in the afternoon the showers will become confined to Atlantic coastal counties with the best of the dry weather in the southeast. Highs of 16 to 21 degrees in a moderate westerly breeze.

Thursday

"Starting off mainly sunny and dry but later more cloud will bubble up with a few isolated showers developing in a westerly breeze. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees in a light to moderate westerly breeze.

Friday

"Friday looks to be rather unsettled with bands of rain moving over the country, turning heavy at times too especially in the west. Westerly winds will freshen at times too with highest temperatures of 16 to 19 degrees."
