TV Forecasts

Overview

Leinster

Today

A mix of sunny spells and scattered showers, some possibly heavy and thundery, will move eastwards this evening. Moderate to strong southwest winds will back southeast overnight.

Tonight

Isolated showers are expected early tonight with many areas becoming dry and clear for a time. However, outbreaks of heavy rain associated with the arrival of Storm Agnes will start spreading from the south early on Wednesday morning. Lows of 8 to 11 degrees in moderate to strong southeast winds.

Tomorrow

Storm Agnes will track northwards over Ireland on Wednesday with disruption likely in places. It will be a wet and very windy day with spells of heavy and occasionally intense rain, combined with very strong and gusty winds that may cause difficult travel conditions and localised flooding. Strong onshore winds and high seas will bring the risk of coastal flooding. Highest temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees with strong to gale force southeast winds, veering westerly later in the day.

National

Tonight

Isolated showers will die out overnight with many areas becoming dry and clear for a time. Outbreaks of rain will develop in the southwest overnight as Storm Agnes approaches. It will turn very windy in the south and west by Wednesday morning with south or southeast gales developing at the coast. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees early in the night, but turning milder later.

Tomorrow

Storm Agnes will track northwards over Ireland on Wednesday with disruption likely in places. It will be wet and very windy with outbreaks of heavy rain extending nationwide with the likelihood of some spot flooding. Becoming extremely windy or stormy for a time in the east and south with the potential for severe and damaging gusts. Strong onshore winds and high seas will bring the risk of coastal flooding on eastern and southern coasts. Highest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees with strong to gale force southeast winds, veering westerly later in the day.

Outlook

Overview: Storm Agnes will clear away towards Scotland on Wednesday night but it will remain rather unsettled for the remainder of the week. Wednesday night: Staying windy on Wednesday night with strong and gusty westerly winds gradually easing as Storm Agnes tracks towards Scotland. Outbreaks of heavy rain in the northeast will give way to a mix of clear spells and scattered showers. Lowest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees. Thursday: Bright spells and scattered showers on Thursday morning. On Thursday afternoon, a band of heavy rain will extend from the Atlantic, spreading eastwards across the country. A clearance will reach the west coast by evening. Highest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees in fresh and gusty southwest winds. Becoming largely dry and clear on Thursday night with just a few isolated showers in Atlantic coastal counties. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in a moderate to fresh southwest breeze. Friday: Friday looks set to be a mostly dry day with plenty of sunshine and just the odd passing shower. Maximum temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees in moderate southwest breezes. Largely dry on Friday night with just a few showers possible in southern and western coastal counties. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in light southerly winds. Saturday: Current indications suggest a spell of rain will push north over the country on Saturday. Highs of 14 to 18 degrees in moderate to fresh southerly winds. Sunday: On Sunday, there’ll be a mix of sunshine and showers early on, before a band of rain pushes eastwards over the country.
