It's set to be a mainly dry night ahead for Co Kildare but there will be a few light passing showers this evening and overnight as well as the potential for fog to develop.

Minimum temperatures of 6 to 8 degrees with a light breeze.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be another warm day with sunny spells and scattered showers. Maximum temperatures of 18 to 21 degrees, but only 15 at the coast due to the onshore breeze.

Headline: Summer type conditions at first, but a marked change to cooler and much more unsettled conditions around midweek.

Tuesday night: A warm, humid and misty night follows on Tuesday night with showery outbreaks of rain moving up over the country from the southeast. Minima of 8 to 11 degrees in mainly light east to southeast breezes.

According to Met Eireann, it will be a ' damp or wet start to the day on Wednesday with showery outbreaks of rain' over much of the country, as a cold front moves up from the south through the course of the day followed by scattered showers. It will, however, be mainly dry at first in the north.

There is the potential for some heavy and thundery showers to develop later in the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees, locally up to 18 or 19 degrees in north Ulster, will occur early on in the day, with temperatures turning progressively cooler through the afternoon, dropping back to between 9 and 12 degrees Celsius. Winds light to moderate east to southeast, will be fresh and gusty near the southwest coast.

Further showers will occur on Wednesday night, some of them heavy and possibly thundery. Lows of 6 to 9 degrees Celsius in light to moderate east to southeast winds, which will be fresh to strong along the south coast.
