This week will see largely unsettled weather, with rain and showers expected every day, while a rain warning will come into effect for two counties.
A Status Yellow rain warning will come into effect at 10:00a.m tomorrow (Tuesday, October 17) for counties Cork and Kerry, which will be in place until midnight tomorrow.
Met Éireann said that these counties will experience heavy rain tomorrow, with difficult travelling conditions and localised flooding possible.
Looking at the weather in general this week, this morning (Monday, October 16) will be mostly cloudy and dry, with just isolated showers.
Sunny spells will develop in many areas this afternoon but it will stay cloudy in the south with some patchy light rain or drizzle developing in the south-west.
It will be cool, with highest afternoon temperatures of 10° to 13° in a light to moderate east to south-east wind.
Tonight there will be patchy light rain and drizzle in the south-west but otherwise it will be dry.
There will be clear spells over the northern half of the country at first but cloud will spread from the south overnight.
It will be chilly in most areas with frost possible, as temperatures fall to between 0° and 5°.
It will stay milder in the south and southeast with lowest temperatures of 7° to 12°. Generally winds will be light to moderate and easterly, but increasing fresh in the southwest overnight.
Tomorrow will see wetter and breezier weather. Rain will spread across Munster, south Leinster and parts of south Connacht in the morning, before extending across the rest of the country during the afternoon.
