RECENT WEEKS HAVE been very cold, but Ireland is going to be a lot warmer today with highest temperatures set to reach 12 or 13 degrees.

There’ll be plenty of rain about, but the unseasonably warm weather will persist until this evening, and will remain for the next few days.

Wet and foggy conditions will be found throughout the country this morning but temperatures will remain in the low teens, according to Met Éireann.

They do point out, however, that outbreaks of rain will develop in western coastal counties which will become more widespread throughout the day.

Becoming milder as southerly winds freshen. Rain in the west by morning, slowly spreading countrywide but patchy further east. Highs 12or13C

Little change tomorrow with low cloud and poor visisbility; further outbreaks of rain through the day also. Highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees in fresh southerly winds.
