Although the freezing conditions that braced Ireland recently are now gone, Met Eireann’s forecast for the day ahead and into Tuesday has shown nothing but rain.
The overview from the national forecaster for both Monday and Tuesday shows that for the most part, Monday will be “cloudy and misty with hill and coastal fog”. While the widespread rain will begin in Ulster, with drizzle everywhere else, it is set to move into the country for the rest of the evening.
