What is the weather Met Eireann weather forecast for Ireland for the weekend

Met Eireann is forecasting very mixed weather for the weekend for Ireland but its certainly not all bad. 

Ireland is in for a mix of showers but also some good dry periods. Temperatures will reach daytime highs of 14 degrees on Saturday but by Sunday night, Met Eireann says a touch of frost is possible with mist and fog likely.

After a wet and blustery start to Saturday, Met Eireann is forecasting that the rain will become patchier during the day, however it will remain persistent and at times heavy in the southeast. While it will remain mostly dull and mild, a clearance to showers will extend into western coastal counties by evening. Above average temperatures for the time of year, with highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees.

Outbreaks of rain will be heavy in places early on Saturday night, but will clear eastwards before midnight. The rest of the night will be dry for most aside from a few showers. Southwest winds largely easing light to moderate, remaining fresh or strong along Atlantic coasts. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees.

According to Met Eireann, Sunday will bring good dry and bright periods for most areas although there will be occasional showers, mainly in Atlantic counties. Highest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees with moderate southerly breezes.

Most areas will be dry and clear on Sunday night, with isolated showers near coasts. Near calm conditions will allow areas of mist or fog to form. A touch of frost is possible, with lowest temperatures of 0 to 4 degrees.

According to Met Eireann, fog is likely on Monday morning, slowly lifting for a mainly dry day with sunny spells. Well scattered showers will feed into Atlantic areas in a light northwest airflow. Highest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees. Monday night is currently looking to be cold, clear and frosty, with lows of -1 to 4 degrees, although there is some uncertainty yet.
