Ireland weather: Met Eireann pinpoint day unusual conditions will end as winter chill creeps in

Met Eireann have predicted that the glorious sunny spells we're seeing recently will continue - but have warned people that things will start to change from Thursday.

If you looked outside your windows over the weekend you would've been forgiven for thinking it was a lovely spring day as opposed to the middle of October.

And while there is a bit of a nip out there in the mornings, we're still seeing better-than-usual weather for this time of the year.

The latest prediction from the boffins at Met Eireann will be a welcome one for many, as they say the good spell is to continue.

Here's the latest from the national forecaster.

Monday

"Monday will be dry and bright with hazy sunny spells, though it will turn cloudier in the north and west through the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in a light westerly breeze.

"Monday night will become generally cloudy with patchy light rain and drizzle affecting Ulster and north Connacht. Drier elsewhere with the best of any clear spells in the south. Lowest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees, but falling to 4 or 5 degrees in parts of the southeast."

Tuesday

"Most areas will stay dry on Tuesday with a mix of cloud and sunny spells, the best of which will be over the southern half of the country. However, there will be isolated patches of light rain or drizzle over Ulster. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees

"Tuesday night will be dry apart from a little drizzle near northern coasts. Cloudiest over the north half of the country with better clear spells further south. Some mist and fog patches forming which will be dense in places. Lows of 5 to 10 degrees.

Wednesday

"Early mist and fog will clear in the morning to give a mix of cloud and some bright or sunny spells. It will remain dry through the day with good sunshine developing during the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in light west to southwest breezes.

"Wednesday night will see cloud will spread from the west with clear spells early in the east giving way to cloudy conditions by morning. Coolest in the east with lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees.

"Thursday will be mostly cloudy with patchy light rain and drizzle mostly over the northern half of the country. A heavier band of rain will extend from the north over Ulster by evening. Highest temperatures of 14 or 15 degrees in light to moderate westerly breezes. : The band of rain over Ulster will track southwards overnight, becoming lighter and patchier as it does so. Becoming cooler behind the rain with lowest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees.

Friday:

"Friday is to see patchy cloud in the south with some drizzle at times manly on higher ground. There will be good sunny spells elsewhere, but feeling fresher overall. Highest temperatures of 11 to 16 degrees, coolest in Ulster, in light to moderate easterly breezes."
