Ireland is set to be lashed with heavy rain as Met Eireann has issued a rather dull forecast for August.
But it's not all bad news as the national forecaster said a blast of high pressure will bring a week of warm temperatures. The August Bank Holiday Monday will see a rather depressing start as heavy rainfall will grip most of the country.
The week from August 1 to August 7 will see low pressure dominate the north of Ireland with an elongated upper level high to the south of Ireland. This will bring the risk of heavy downpours in the northwest.
