The rain and drizzle will become more widespread in the southwest, west and north this evening.

Rain is the forecast on Monday night though but it’s confined to the northern and northeastern areas. Aside from these areas, it’s set to remain dry across the country with clear spells.
Thickening overnight cloud in the west and northwest should bring rain to the coastal fringes of Connacht and west Ulster by Tuesday morning. Mist and fog patches will form with outbreaks of rain and drizzle set to fall in Connacht, Ulster and west Munster
