Ireland weather: Met Eireann's nasty update as Ireland to be hit by hail and rain showers in mixed five-day forecast

Ireland will face a real mixed bag weather-wise for the next few days - as rain and hail showers will be mixed in with some period of sunshine.

That's according to Met Éireann, who have published their latest forecast for the week.

If you're tucking in to your left-over Easter eggs, then you'll be doing so with a pretty strange sky outside on Easter Monday.

That's because where there will be sunny spells at times, the national forecaster also warn of "blustery showers today, some heavy with a chance of hail."

It won't get too warm either, with highs of only 12 degrees.

Tuesday will see rain dominate early in the western half of the country, with scattered showers spreading across the rest of Ireland in the afternoon.

Again, we won't see temperatures getting above the 11-12C mark.

The forecast for Wednesday is slightly better, with the prediction reading: "On Wednesday there's a risk of rain and drizzle in the west where it will be cloudy at times, generally though it will be largely dry with some sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees in light to moderate southerly breezes"

Thursday is much the same, as the boffins at Met Éireann say: "On Thursday there'll be a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers, most frequent in the southwest of the country with the possibility of more persistent falls of rain at times there. Highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees, coolest along eastern and southern coasts as light southeasterly winds freshen later."
