Met Eireann Ireland weather: 'Unseasonably wet and windy' bank holiday weekend forecast with major temperature drop

It's a lovely sunny morning in Dublin but unfortunately it's not going to last with Met Eireann warning of an "unseasonably wet and windy" bank holiday weekend.

And it's going to get very cold at night time with temperatures plummeting below freezing.

Today will see a mix of sunshine and scattered showers with highs of 10 or 11C.

Those showers will become isolated tonight as the mercury dips to -2C with frost developing.

Sunday will start off mostly dry with sunny spells although rain will become more frequent in the afternoon with highs of 11 or 12C.

Here's what the forecaster says is in store for early next week:

Monday: " Monday will be wet and windy. There will be heavy rain nationwide during the morning and early afternoon, giving a risk of flooding. Some wintry falls will be possible on higher ground in Ulster too.

"Rain will continue across the northern half of the country through the afternoon, but will clear to sunshine and scattered blustery showers further south."

Tuesday: " Tuesday will be cool and blustery with sunshine and scattered showers. Some showers will be heavy with hail, and possibly sleet on higher ground. Highest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees with a fresh and gusty northwesterly wind."

Wednesday: " Wednesday morning will start off dry and bright for most, although there will be some scattered showers in the northwest. Showers will become more widespread during the afternoon but will largely die out in the evening, as cloud builds in the southwest."

Rest of the week: " Staying cool for the rest of the week. A good deal of dry weather on Thursday, but there is potential for another spell of unseasonably wet and windy weather Friday into Saturday."
