THE SCATTERED SHOWERS of the past week will be sticking around for the coming weekend.
The recent unpredictable rainy weather will continue tonight, according to Met Éireann, with isolated showers mainly to the north and west of the country.
Temperatures will drop to between one and five degrees.
Saturday will start with dry sunny spells but scattered showers in the west and northwest will extend elsewhere throughout the day. Some sunny spells will be interspersed throughout the day.
Tomorrow night, the scattered showers will continue overnight with lowest temperatures of two to five degrees.
Rain will sweep across the country early on Sunday, with breezy southerly winds. The rain will clear in the afternoon and the winds will moderate and veer west.
However, Met Éireann says that scattered heavy showers will follow the bright afternoon, with a risk of spot flooding, lightning and hail.
The scattered showers will continue into the night, with some clear spells.
On Monday, the showers continue, dispersed throughout the day with more sunny spells. Met Éireann says this is set to continue to Tuesday.

It’s May and we haven’t seen the sun in a long time, come on, give us a break and give us a good summer, after the past year we deserve it, we need it!
@Jim Buckley Barrett: we had a week of mostly sunshine 2 weeks ago.
@Ed: Must have missed that week, you’re obviously one of those people who think it’s a great Summer if we get a week or two of sun. Face facts the weather is absolutely awful at the moment, even for Ireland.
@Jim Buckley Barrett: I hate the whole ‘we deserve it’, we absolutely do not, wrecking the cities with rubbish, not even trying to follow rules and generally being a shambles, particularly in Dublin. Last year we had 11 barbecues by this point, that was karma for trying.
@Paul Cunningham: you should bbq indoors,, work a treat for you..
Unprecedented rain in Ireland?
Pull the other one, its waterlogged!
On the plus side, next weekend is shaping up nicely. High teens to low twenties Friday through Monday. Get down your local b&q before all the parasols and barbeques are snapped up.
