Most of the country is due to stay relatively dry over the coming days before a big change this weekend as a band of heavy rain makes its way over Ireland, causing disruption.
Drizzle showers will be seen across Connacht and Munster this morning, however, and are due to turn a bit heavier in the afternoon.
It will be drier elsewhere with scattered showers and occasional sunny periods but it will be breezy with a moderate to fresh west to northwest wind, which will be strong and gusty at times in the southwest.
