IT’S BEEN A September of mixed weather so far, but there might be something to look forward to this weekend.
Sure, it’s unlikely to be too balmy – but a little bit of sunshine might brighten up the weekend.
Today will stay wet and breezy in the west and north-west, but everywhere else should be largely dry with temperatures set to reach between 15 and 18 degrees, according to Met Éireann.
Tonight will also stay dry, with some scattered showers in the north.
Saturday
The day will remain generally dry, with sunny spells and some showers in places. However, by evening the north-west can expected “persistent and occasionally heavy rain” according to the national forecaster.
Further south the weather will remain dry with sunny spells, with higher temperatures between 15 and 18 degrees alongside moderate to fresh south-east winds.
Met Éireann is predicting that winds will pick up to become particularly strong along western coasts in the afternoon – with some gales forecast.
Sunday
In better news, Sunday is set to be a little brighter with warm sunny spells developing across large parts of the country – although parts of the south and the west may see low cloud and mist.
Temperatures could reach 22 degrees, alongside “moderate to fresh” winds, according to Met Éireann.
Highest temperatures will be found across the midlands and in the east.

All those counties are cold on sunny days
Jealous
@Dave: all the comments on the travellers in Mayo are deleted and no more comments allowed. Has Trump taken over the Journal?
Nope! It’s a minefield for liberal progressives. They don’t know who to support for fear of being labeled a racist, bigot, literally Hitler etc.
Good. Most of the commenrs were disgusting and / or infantile. If you don’t like being censored, try saying something constructive instead of indulging yourself in an orgy of filth.
I hope the protesting travellers are wrapped up nice and warm in someone else’s coats
Working bigotry and xenophobia into a weather article. Impressive.
A bit of cold and they issue a warning. Christ we are soft these days.
You’d want to be careful walking up the mountain in this weather but if you’re not and slip sure you can always sue.
Once its not Dublin. Who cares.
I’m sure all the anti water protesters will be running their taps overnight to stop the pipes freezing
I think anyone is Anti Water.
*don’t
@Peter Cavey: by not paying water charges I have more money to keep background hearing on and thereby to avoid frozen pipes. I don’t need to run the taps.
A lot of people in these counties are on rural group water schemes and this pay for their water. Thus running taps would be an incredible foolish thing to do.

@Peter Cavey: I think those water meters were suppose to crack under certain frosty conditions, here’s hoping?
Up the Dubs
I’m anti water too. Hate the stuff.
Your right too. Scary fact: 100% of organisms that consume water will die.
But if you do skid on the black ice, and slide into a wall and damage your bumper, and perhaps even scratch your knee off the underside of the dash, – don’t worry, . You can sue the NRA for not salting the road, Sue the wall owner for the damage to your car, and Sue the car manufacturer for the scratch on your knee.
The judges in this banana republic are bound to pay out on one of them …
Be careful out there – sort-of.
These counties otherwise known as the Provinces of Connaught and Ulster in the Republic…just in case you aren’t sure which of the four you are situated!
Just sayin….it’s easier to name the two provinces than list every county in them!
BORING!
So more than that then?
Oh feckk.
Funny how it freezes in Cavan, Monaghan & Donegal but not in Fermanagh or Tyrone. Strange stuff this frost!
have your say
