"Met Éireann meteorologist Ailis Hankinson said there will not be much respite from rain in the coming days. "Our weather is set to stay unsettled for the next little while with more rain, showers and blustery conditions to come," she said. "Though it will turn milder as we head into the weekend with warmer than average temperatures for this time of year.""
"Rain will clear eastwards early on Friday morning, followed by a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. These showers will be blustery and might turn heavier and more persistent for a time in the late morning and early afternoon. Meanwhile, it will become cloudier from the southwest in the afternoon with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in Munster and Connacht later. Temperatures will range between 9 and 12C, accompanied by fresh and sometimes strong winds."
