Met Éireann said that current indications are that conditions will remain unsettled for the rest of next week with rain and cooler temperatures than recent times.
Soil moisture deficits (SMDs) currently range from 19 to 74mm across all soil types, with the driest soils in parts of Galway and the southeast. This has led to restricted grass growth in many areas.
SMDs will decrease slightly in the week ahead due to generally unsettled conditions.
