Overview

Leinster

Today

Largey dry for the rest of today with isolated showers. Cloudy in most parts with patchy mist and low cloud near the south and southeast coasts. Moderate south to southwest winds, fresh at first near the south coast, will back southeasterly and ease.

Tonight

Cloudy but mostly dry at first tonight with isolated showers and patchy mist and low cloud. It will become very wet and windy overnight with persistent rain spreading from the south. The rain will be heavy and thundery at times leading to localised flooding. Southeast winds will gradually veer southerly and increase strong and gusty, and with gales possible on coasts. Relatively mild with lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees, increasing through the night.

Tomorrow

Tuesday will be a very windy or stormy day as Storm Bram tracks close to Ireland. Strong to gale force and gusty southerly winds, strongest near the south and southeast coasts, will veer southwest. Widespread thundery rain at first, will also lead further to surface water. The rain will clear to scattered showers for the afternoon. Flooding is also possible in some low-lying coastal areas, especially around high tide. A mild day with highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees.

National

Today

Most areas will be dry this evening, apart from some passing showers across northwest and southwest counties. Southerly winds will be mostly overland.

Tonight

Dry for a time tonight before turning very wet and windy or even stormy as a deterioration extends from the south. Heavy thundery rain and strong and gusty southerly winds will develop with gale along some coasts. Relatively mild with lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees, increasing through the night.

Tomorrow

There is a high risk of river and coastal flooding across south Kerry, Cork, south Tipperary and Waterford until Thursday 11th December, due to saturated ground, persistent rainfall, high surge levels and spring tides. Tuesday will be a windy or stormy day as Storm Bram affects the country. Very wet to begin with thundery rain. After a week of persistent rain, this may lead to flooding, especially in southern areas. Where high tides coincide with onshore winds, some coastal flooding will occur too. Some damaging gusts are expected also. Strong to gale force southerly winds will affect the country, veering westerly later. Scattered showers will follow for the afternoon, turning heavy and thundery across west and northwest counties. Mild with highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees.

Outlook

Overview: While there is uncertainty in the forecast detail for this week, there will be spells of wet and windy weather, but also some drier and brighter spells too. Temperatures will be average or above for the time of year. Tuesday night: Any rain in the north will soon clear, giving way to a dry and clear night for many, but with scattered showers on western Atlantic counties.

Wednesday: There is uncertainty in the forecast detail for Wednesday. Current indications are that it will be a breezy day with a mix of showers and sunny spells.

Wednesday night: A windy night, current indications are that it will be mostly dry before rain pushes into western counties towards morning. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 10 degrees, with fresh to strong southerly winds. Thursday: While there is uncertainty in the timing, a band of rain will move eastwards across the country during Thursday. It will be followed by drier conditions generally, but showers will feed into Atlantic counties. It will be windy too, with strong southerly winds easing as the rain clears.
