The current let-up of rain we’ve experienced over the last number of days looks set to continue – though it will turn colder over the weekend.

Met Éireann predicts that today, Friday, March 27, frost, mist and fog patches will gradually clear in the morning, to leave a dry day around the country, with a mix of cloud and sunshine.

Highest temperatures today will be 9° to 15° – with highest values away from north and east-facing coasts – in light to moderate northerly breezes, which will increase fresh and gusty on west and north-west coasts later in the day.

Tonight will be dry, with variable cloud amounts and clear spells. Lowest temperatures will be 1° to 5°, with a touch of frost, in light to moderate north-easterly winds.

Tomorrow, Saturday, March 28, will feel colder, in moderate to fresh and gusty north-easterly winds. It will be another dry day generally, with sunny spells, though cloudy at times also, especially in the afternoon. Isolated showers are possible near east and north coasts.

Highest temperatures tomorrow will be 8° to 13°, with highest values away from north and east-facing coasts.

Saturday night will be cold and dry, with clear breaks in many areas. Cloud will increase in the east and south, but it will remain largely clear in the north and west. Lowest temperatures will be -2° to +2°, coldest in Ulster and Connacht. North-easterly winds will be moderate and fall light in the north and west.
