“Friday will be a brighter day with a mix of sunny spells and just well scattered showers.” said a forecaster.

Many areas will be dry for the evening hours with highest temperatures of 18 to 22 degrees.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the outlook isn’t bad.

Saturday is expected to bring highs of 18 to 23 degrees, warmest and driest across Leinster and Munster, and while there’s still some uncertainty regarding Sunday, current indications suggest it will be generally dry early on with hazy sunny spells and highs of 19 to 25 degrees.
