The aftermath of a hail shower in Dublin yesterday. Sasko Lazarov/Rollingnews.ie

Hail and isolated thunderstorms forecast today as we're set for wet, windy weekend

There is good news for next week, however, when the weather is set to turn drier and warmer.

TODAY IS SET to feature more heavy downpours with some areas experiencing hail and isolated thunderstorms this morning, Met Éireann has said.

There will also be some sunny spells before cloud increases this afternoon and showers merge to longer spells of rain in western counties.

These spells of rain will then extend eastwards this evening, with the risk of hail or sleet in some areas overnight.

Highest temperatures will range between 5 to 9 degrees in moderate to fresh south-westerly winds.

Saturday will be a windy day with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers again.

Met Éireann said the showers will be heaviest and most frequent in the west and north-west.

It’ll be slightly cooler too, with highest temperatures between 5 to 8 degrees.

Sunday will follow a similar pattern but it will become more settled next week with “drier and milder spring-like conditions expected”. 

Current indications say that it’ll be a mild St Patrick’s Day on Wednesday with highest temperatures between 11 to 16 degrees.

    I’m sure Stephen’s husband will thank you for that one!

    The advice Norris gives at the end is spot on. And even if you’ve already read it the audio book is definitely worth checking out.

    Yeah a version with lone narrator would be a bit jarring. But I think the audio book I have is the 1982 recordings, it has a complete cast of voice actors, sound effects, music etc. It’s very well put together.

    Or just find a quiet spot to yourself and read it aloud?

    Don’t think it’s any of those Pontius, it’s an rte version so it’s probably not up on YouTube. I got a digital copy ages ago so not too sure where to get it now. I’m sure it’s available to download somewhere, can have a proper look when I get out of work

    I haven’t read anything yet from Joyce, it’s on my bucket list though.

    That aside, i would love to meet with Stephen Fry and Senator Norris for a chat.

    I have an audio book of Ulysses read by Jim Norton (Bishop Brennan). I highly recommend it!
