It will be largely dry elsewhere with lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees and light to moderate southwest winds. 

Tomorrow will be breezy with scattered showers for most, but more persistent rain will affect northern and western parts of Ulster. This will clear northwards early in the night. 

Though it will be mostly cloudy, Met Éireann said a few sunny intervals will also occur, with highest temperatures of 13 and 17 degrees expected. 

Thursday looks set to be damp with outbreaks of rain and drizzle becoming widespread during the morning and early afternoon. Some heavy showers are possible, mainly in western counties. It will also be breezy, with highest temperatures of 14 to 16 degrees.
