Ireland weather: Met Eireann five-day forecast as experts predict grim weekend ahead

Ireland is in for a lot of rainfall over the coming days, with Met Eireann predicting a lot of precipitation as part of its five-day forecast.

Weather bosses expect a weekend of widespread showers, and there's a risk of isolated thunderstorms on Sunday as Ireland hunkers down for the winter.

Rainfall is forecast from tomorrow right through until next Tuesday, so if you are moving remember to pack the brolly.

As for Thursday evening, it's going to be cloudy with rain in western areas, spreading across the whole western half of the country throughout the evening. It'll also be windy, with fresh to strong and gusty southerly winds – with these strongest on the west coast of Ireland.

Here's the five-day weather forecast from tomorrow onwards so you can plan your weekend.

Friday

Tomorrow will be wet, with persistent – and even heavy – rain spreading across the country and settling in for the night.

We'll also have fresh southerly winds, with lowest temperatures of between 5 and 9 degrees.

Saturday

The rain will continue for much of Saturday before clearing gradually eastwards. But showers will follow, on a day with highest forecasted temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.

Showers will continue in many areas overnight, while temperatures at their lowest could reach between 4 and 8 degrees.

Sunday

Sunday will be cool and blustery for the most part – but there will be widespread showers and weather experts are even indicating that isolated thunderstorms are possible.

On the bright side, there will also be some bright or sunny spells, with highest temperatures of between 9 and 13 degrees.

Monday

Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will spread northeastwards on Monday and will become persistent, particularly in the west and northwest.

With some dry intervals, Monday will bring highest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.

Tuesday

The mild weather will continue on Tuesday, but there will be further spells of rain in many areas.
