Met Eireann Ireland weather forecast shows cloudy day ahead before Bank Holiday relief

Dublin is facing another cloudy, uncertain day today weather wise - but the Bank Holiday weekend is still looking glorious.

This morning will stay mostly dry in the capital as overnight cloud gives way to sunny spells.

That cloud will return in the afternoon, however, bringing some showers with it as afternoon turns to evening.

Temperatures should remain relatively middling, between 13-15C, before dropping down to between 5-8C overnight as the cloud clears off.

Unsettled conditions are also expected for Wednesday and Thursday, and potentially into Friday morning too.

But Met Eireann believe right now that the Bank Holiday weekend will, thankfully, remain untouched, with the weather staying dry and settled and temperatures breaking the twenties.

Here is the full forecast for the rest of the week:

Wednesday: Any lingering showers will clear early with a mix of cloudy periods and sunny spells developing later in the morning. It will become cloudier through the afternoon with a few isolated showers developing too but they will largely die out in the evening. Highest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees in light winds.

Wednesday Night: A mostly clear and dry night with just a little bit of cloud lingering into the overnight hours. Winds staying light with some mist or fog patches forming too. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees.

Thursday: A generally fine and calm start to the day and staying dry in most areas too. A little more cloud will build in the afternoon with an isolated shower or two. Light winds with highs of 15 to 19 degrees.

Thursday Night: It will be a mostly cloudy evening with scattered showers, some may be more persistent over the northern half of the country in the evening too. Light winds and lowest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees.

Friday: A mix of cloudy periods and isolated showers to start but there will be some sunny intervals too. There will be a little afternoon cloud building up with a few more showers but they will gradually die out in the evening. Highs of 18 to 21 degrees, warmest in the west. Staying clear and dry overnight with lows of around 8 to 11 degrees.

Weekend: Looking ahead to the weekend and it should stay dry and settled as high pressure is set to remain over the country however the details remain a little uncertain for now. A light easterly breeze for most areas and our highs should reach into the low twenties.
