A DAY OF rain is being predicted by Met Éireann with thundery showers spreading eastwards across the country today.
The day is set to begin with heavy rain showers in the west of the country with a risk of thunder in coastal areas. This will develop throughout the evening to become more sustained thundery rain.
In the east of the country, it will remain relatively dry for the afternoon until the thundery showers from the west move eastwards to deliver a very wet night with heavy hail and sleet in places.
Temperatures for today will reach highs of between six to ten degrees.
This will clear overnight into tomorrow and scattered showers are being predicted for Thursday.
Towards the weekend, very windy conditions are being predicted for Friday and Saturday with scattered showers and heavy rain at times.

@Artur Gurta: The Journal do a weather forecast story literally every morning? You’re criticizing over absolutely nothing of important.
@Artur Gurta: Ah good man! There’s always one. And here you are.
“Heavy hail and sleet in paces” I hope it’s at a slow pace.
@Donegal Doseofshh: and they fixed it. You are very welcome journal.
Worked outdoors all my life . My reliable weather forecast cast source every morning is the window , they only reliable source.
If it’s heavy rain , monitor the puddleometer , if the birds start singing while it’s raining it’s a signal that the rain is due to stop soon . Fact .
@Keith Flood: yep, and why we don’t continue to throw odd women into the river to see if they float is beyond me.
