Sunshine on the way again today, but rain forecast for this evening and tonight

The sun is not set to disappear just yet, but the weather will not be quite as good as it has been over the previous days, and there could even be showers later in the afternoon.

Cloudy and damp at first today with patchy drizzle and mist, but these will clear eastwards this morning with sunny spells following. This evening, rain will develop in the northwest and will gradually spread over much of Ulster and Connacht. Cooler than recently with highest temperatures of 16-22 degrees in moderate west to southwest breezes will freshen later.

Tonight, rain and drizzle will continue to spread southeastwards and will extend to all areas by dawn. Lowest temperatures of 11-13 degrees with fresh south to southwest winds.
