This weeks forecast on Met Éireann: NATIONAL OUTLOOK General: Cool at first, but much milder later in the week and next weekend. Cold and dry for most of Monday night, with some frost, but rain will arrive in Atlatc coastal counties before dawn. Lowest temperatures between 0 and +4 degrees, but values will rise later in the night. Light breezes generally but fresh southerly winds will develop on western coasts later. Tuesday will start dry in the east. Rain in the west will spread to all parts during the day, in fresh southerly winds. Top temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees. The rain will clear early Tuesday night to isolated showers. Lows of 3 to 5 degrees, so no frost. Wednesday will be a cool, brrezy :rolleyes: day with sunshine and showers. Top temperatures 9 tyo 12 C. Thursday and Friday will be milder days, with moderate to fresh south to southwest winds. Rather cloudy overall with possibly some mist and drizzle on Atlantic coasts. But some bright weather too, best in the east of the couhtry :eek:. Temperatures should be in the mid teens, locally higher in any bright spells.
