Ireland weather: Dry Monday in store but conditions to take turn for the worse
After two Met Eireann Status Yellow rain warnings were cancelled last night, Monday is forecast to be a mainly dry day
Monday looks like the day to get the washing hung out this week because it may well be the driest of the coming days, with an otherwise wet and miserable week in store.
After two Met Eireann Status Yellow rain warnings were cancelled last night, Monday is forecast to be a mainly dry day, with plenty of sunny spells developing after some morning cloud clears. Other than the chance of a small degree of drizzle, most areas will enjoy dry and clear conditions throughout the day.
The national forecaster expects highs of between 11C and 16C in mostly light to moderate southeasterly or variable breezes.

After Monday, however, weather conditions are due to take a turn for the worse as most days will see a risk of potentially thundery downpours, which could continue into the coming weekend.
Speaking of tomorrow, Tuesday October 15, a Met Eireann spokesperson said: "Mainly dry for a time, but outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the south will gradually move northeastwards to most areas through tomorrow. The rain will become heavy and possibly thundery at times, especially in southern counties with spot flooding possible. There'll be hill and coastal mist and fog too. Mild and humid with highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in moderate, occasionally fresh and gusty southeast winds.
"Tuesday night will be a wet night, with spells of rain, heavy and possibly thundery at times. The rain looks set to be heaviest in the south and southeast, with spot flooding. There'll be hill and coastal mist and fog too. Very mild and humid with temperatures not falling below 11 to 13 degrees, in moderate, occasionally fresh southeast winds, decreasing mostly light to moderate later.
"Wednesday will bring more rain, heavy and possibly thundery at times, with spot flooding. There'll be fairly widespread mist and hill and coastal fog for a time too. A clearance to sunshine and a few showers will move in the southwest in the early afternoon will gradually extend northeastwards to most parts. Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly winds, veering south to southwesterly."
This looks to be the general outlook for the week ahead, though temperatures will remain mild.
