Here’s your weather forecast for the weekend

Wrap up warm

Eoghan Doherty

As Ned Stark never said, winter is kind of almost here sort of.

First things first, here’s the weather forecast for the rest of the day…

Saturday

According to Met Éireann, it will be generally dry on Saturday with frost and fog clearing quickly in the morning. Many areas will have sunny intervals but places may remain rather cloudy, especially the east and southeast. Winds light to moderate, northeast to east, with highest temperatures 11 to 14 degrees Celsius.

Saturday night will remain dry everywhere but fog patches will occur, as will some grass frost.

Calm down Mr Freeze, there’s no need for you just yet…

Sunday and Monday

Sunday and Monday will both be dry days with no more than light breezes and cloud cover will vary.

Tuesday

On Tuesday, winds will steadily strengthen in all areas, especially so in the northwest where gales may occur in exposed places later. Much of the south and east will have a dry and bright day but cloudier conditions in the north and west will spread countrywide as the day goes on.

Rain will develop in most places during the evening and early night, possibly becoming heavy at times in parts Ulster and Connacht. All areas will have rain overnight into Wednesday and it will stay windy.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, rain will slowly die out and winds will moderate steadily. Some rain or drizzle will return to western counties on Wednesday night but other areas will be mainly dry.

No matter what the weather’s going to be like, have a wee listen to this tune. It’ll warm you right up…
