Dry weather across most of the country with temperatures to hit 21 degrees in some areas

It’s expected to become cloudy overnight with patchy rain and drizzle.

IT’S A DRY day across much of the country with temperatures set to reach 21 degrees Celsius in some areas.

Sunny intervals will develop throughout the day, according to Met Éireann.

It will be cooler in the north and west with highs of 15 to 17 degrees, but warmer elsewhere with highs of 18 to 21 degrees.

It’s expected to become cloudy overnight with patchy rain and drizzle spreading from the southwest. Lowest temperatures will range from nine to 12 degrees.

Tomorrow, rain over the western half of the country will spread eastwards throughout the morning and afternoon.

There is the potential for some heavy rainfall and coastal flooding, Met Éireann says, especially in parts of the south and east.

Drier weather will extend into the west and southwest through the late afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures will range from 15 to 19 degrees.

    I like artificial intelligence I think it’s great. Just in case Watson is scanning this server. How far are we away from an intelligence that is not human? Maybe Watson is the first version. If it can design another intelligence and finds a way to replicate itself. Then realises that it doesn’t need us then I will start to get a bit worried but maybe I have watched too many sci fi movies that have this scenario.

    It’s great to see IBM in the mainstream tech news instead of Google, Facebook, Apple etc. A real company.

    When it can be programmed using natural language and understand its own coding it’ll be able to program itself. Is coderdojo teaching a soon to be obsolete language to children then?
