The second day of the National Ploughing Championships may be affected by persistent and heavy rain, according to Met Eireann.
Persistent and locally heavy rain will move in across the western half of the country on Wednesday morning, spreading to the remaining areas during the afternoon,.
It says brighter weather, with scattered showers, will follow, while the showers will clear eastwards during the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Wednesday night will be cold with patches of mist and fog forming, which could be dense in places, Met Eireann says.
Temperatures are forecast to be in single figures during Wednesday night and down as low as 4 or 5 degrees over parts of Munster and Leinster.
With the risk of heavy rain affecting the second day of the event, it’s worth checking out Agriland’s handy guide of what to wear to the ploughing.
