Irish weather forecast: Met Eireann predicts sunny Monday with highs of 17C - but areas will see heavy showers

Parts of Ireland will see highs of 17C on Monday - but large areas will experience heavy rain showers.

Met Eireann is forecasting a sunny afternoon after the morning mists clears.

However, it's expected that rain in northern areas will spread throughout the country later on. Highest temperatures will range between 12C and 17C.

A spokesperson said: "Today will start off mostly dry, with patchy mist and fog clearing to give bright or sunny spells, but scattered showers in the Northwest will become more widespread during the day with a few heavy ones.

"However, much of Munster and parts of South Leinster will be mainly dry, with just isolated showers.
