Spot flooding 

Rain in the east will extend westward tomorrow night to affect much of the north and east of the country overnight. It will be heavy at times with a risk of spot flooding.

There will be a mix of dry spells and scattered showers elsewhere. Temperatures will dip to seven to nine degrees with moderate to gusty northwest winds.

It will start off wet in most areas on Sunday with heavy and prolonged rain leading to a risk of localised flooding. Eastern parts of the country will begin to clear during the morning, however the rain will persist in the west.

Highest temperatures will range from 11 to 15 degrees in moderate to gusty northwest winds, which will ease as the rain clears.

The rain will gradually ease overnight on Sunday into Monday, becoming more showery in western parts. It’s expected to remain cloudy and dry in the east with a risk of isolated showers. Lowest temperatures will range from seven to nine degrees.

Met Éireann says unsettled conditions will continue next week.
