Easter Sunday is due to be a dull day with patchy rain and drizzle in the morning.

THE UPCOMING EASTER weekend is set to see some “unsettled” weather with both sunny spells and outbreaks of rain and drizzle. 

Met Éireann says scattered showers this morning will become more isolated, leaving a bright and largely dry day with sunny spells. 

Tonight is forecast to be dry and chilly with clear spells and patches of mist and fog. 

Temperatures are set to drop as low as -1 degree tonight. 

Any mist and fog is due to clear tomorrow morning to leave another generally dry day with spells of hazy sunshine. However, there is a chance of an isolated shower or two.
