Met Eireann has issued a nasty forecast for Dublin as heavy rain and gusty winds will batter the city.
Prolonged showers will dominate for the next couple of days but there is some good news as the weekend will bring drier weather. Today will see plenty of sunny spells and showers with some showers turning heavy or prolonged with the risk of isolated thunderstorms later.
Fresh and gusty winds could result in wave overtopping in the coastal areas during high tide. Daytime temperatures will be around 12 or 13 degrees.
