Ireland weather: Met Eireann's bank holiday forecast as conditions set to take very unwelcome turn

Ireland is set for a mixed bag of conditions over the bank holiday weekend as downpours are expected throughout the country with just some sunny spells.

Met Eireann has forecast temperatures to climb to 20 degrees over the weekend. However, it may not be the time to head to any beaches as the weather will remain predominantly wet.

Munster and Leinster will see the worst of the conditions as rain becomes more persistent, but some clear sunny spells will still be dotted throughout.
