Met Éireann says spells of heavy rain can be expected at times and that possible impacts include localised flooding, poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions.

"Otherwise it's going to be a cool, breezy day, with sunshine and a scattering of showers. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees and feeling cooler than that with the added wind chill effect from a fresh and gusty northerly wind," states the latest forecast.
