The rain and drizzle in the north and east will ease and largely clear during the afternoon to leave sunny spell and scattered showers across the country.
“Fairly warm and humid with highest temperatures of 18C to 22C in moderate north or northwest breezes.
“Mainly dry overnight with clear spells but areas of mist and fog will form as winds fall light. Lowest temperatures of 9C to 12C.”
Looking ahead to tomorrow, it continued: “Saturday looks set to be a mostly dry day with a mix of cloud and sunshine. The best of the sunshine is expected across the north and east of the country. There'll just be a few well-scattered showers, mainly confined to the southwest.
“Another warm day with highest temperatures of 18C to 22C in moderate east or southeast winds.
“Mostly dry at first on Saturday night but cloud will thicken from the south overnight and outbreaks of rain will spread across Munster and Connacht before dawn. Lowest temperatures of 11C to 14C in a moderate southeast breeze.”
