The bank holiday weekend is set to see mixed weather, with rain at times but also warm conditions, the highest temperatures in the south and east.
Any mist or fog will clear this morning (Friday, July 29) to leave a dry but mostly cloudy start to the day with some scattered showers developing – most of these across Atlantic counties. More general rain will arrive into west and northwest coasts by evening.
It will be humid today, with highest temperatures ranging from 19° to 23°, warmest and driest across the east and southeast, all in a mostly moderate southwest breeze.
Scattered outbreaks of rain will move in across the country tonight, turning persistent in the north and west with driest conditions in the southeast.
It will be a rather warm, humid and breezy night with lowest temperatures of 14° to 17°, in moderate to fresh southwest winds.

Highest temperatures will be 18° to 23°, warmest in the southeast and east, in a mostly moderate southwest breeze.
Tomorrow night will be mostly calm, with outbreaks of rain moving in across the country. The rain will likely be heaviest in the south and just patchy to the north. Some uncertainty remains to the track of the rain.
