It's to be a bright, sunny day for most of Co Cork today after a few days of freezing cold and stormy weather. A Status Yellow warning for rain and wind has lifted to give way to what Met Eireann is expecting to be a lovely dry day for most in Munster.
But the dry spell won't last too long - tomorrow is to bring the return of showers. Temperatures are staying above the 10 degree mark however, as milder weather returns for a more seasonal Spring bout.
A blustery start today with outbreaks of rain clearing quickly northwards this morning. Largely dry for the remainder of the day with sunny spells and just the chance of the odd shower. Maximum afternoon temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees with fresh and gusty southwest winds decreasing moderate during the afternoon.
Largely dry with clear spells at first tonight but cloud will thicken from the Atlantic with patchy rain developing in the south later. Lowest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees. Moderate southeast breezes will freshen overnight.
It looks set to be mostly cloudy and rather breezy on Wednesday with outbreaks of rain at times. Highest temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees in fresh to strong southeast winds.
As for the rest of the week and into the weekend, forecasters expect "mixed and changeable weather" with lots of dry weather on Thursday and Friday but it looks set to turn more unsettled over the weekend.
Staying breezy on Wednesday night with further rain and drizzle at times in the south and southwest. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees with fresh southeast breezes.
Lots of dry and bright weather is expected on Thursday with sunny spells and patchy cloud for most. Highest temperatures of 8 to 12 degrees with fresh east or southeast winds. Mostly dry early on Thursday night but cloud will increase overnight with a few showers moving in. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees.
Friday looks set to be another mostly dry day with sunny spells for many. However, the odd shower is possible in the north whilst cloudier conditions with a little patchy rain may edge in along the south coast. Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees. On Friday night, outbreaks of rain are expected to spread across the south and east of the country but it is expected to hold mostly dry in the west and north. Minimum temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees in a moderate easterly breeze.
It is expected to be rather cloudy on Saturday with rain at times. Maximum temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees in moderate to fresh easterly winds. Further outbreaks of rain in the east and south at times on Saturday night. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees.
A good deal of uncertainty in the forecast for Mother's Day. At present it looks set to be a breezy and showery day. Highest temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees in moderate to fresh east or northeast winds.
