Not while driving, of course.
Let’s see what the weather has in store for us.
Met Éireann says the day will be mild, breezy and cloudy, with rain along western coasts. (Things will be drier for us folk in Dublin.)
If you’re driving through Dublin this morning:
AA Roadwatch says there are wet conditions on roads in Cavan, Portlaoise, Ennis and Wexford.
Be careful out there.

Also in Dublin, a broken down bus has blocked a lane on the Lusk Road to Blakes Cross.

Further in, traffic is busy on Patrick Street onto Lavitt’s Quay.
Delays are also building on both the N40 South Ring Road and the N8 Dublin Road approaching the Dunkettle Interchange.
If you’re planning to head out tomorrow night, don’t count on dry weather.
In Dublin, the N4 Lucan Rd is now very busy inbound from before J4 Newcastle to the Palmerstown Bypass.
