Met Éireann said that rainfall amounts will range from 10mm in the midlands and south to 20mm in the west and along the east coast this week.

There will be moderate to good drying conditions during the sunny periods. The best of the drying conditions are expected around midweek as the showers become more isolated and lighter.

Conditions for spraying will also improve around midweek as light winds are expected.

Over the week, soil moisture deficits (SMDs) will increase a little in many areas. Some well drained and moderately drained soils in the northwest will remain saturated or close to saturation. Any poorly drained soils in these parts are likely to remain waterlogged.
