The weather is due to take a dip with persistent rain and low temperatures before a high-pressure system brings about a nice change over the coming days.
According to the Carlow Weather Twitter page: “A lot of cloud around today and same for next few days but some sunny spells later in the week as high pressure builds West of Ireland.
“The high will block most of the wind and rain. A few brief dips in temperatures but generally milder”.
