Some showers expected today, but weather to improve significantly on yesterday

While it will be nowhere near as wet and as miserable as yesterday, today will bring further showers at time for Kildare but the county should escape the worst of the weather.

Cool today with mist in places at first and some grass frost. A bright day with sunny spells and scattered showers, most of the showers in coastal counties of the southeast, south and west, where some will be heavy and possibly of hail. Maximum temperatures 8-12 degrees, in mostly light to moderate south to southwest winds.

Cold tonight with clear periods, scattered showers also especially in southern and western areas. Lowest temperatures of 1-5 degrees with some mist and patchy frost in places as winds will be light but will freshen a little towards morning.
