We’ll be getting at least three seasons of weather this weekend

Wind, rain, cloud, sun... standard.

If you're going to brave the weather in Ireland, you better be damn ready to face it all in these changeable months between summer and winter. There's a wet and cloudy start to this weekend in store, but in good news, it looks like there's going to some sun and dry spells sprinkled in for good measure. Friday will begin wet with patches of rain, especially in the north and east of the country but brighter and drier conditions in the west will spread nationwide by lunchtime. According to Met Éireann, the afternoon and evening will see a mix of cloud and sunny spells in all areas with strong and gusty winds in some areas. Temperatures will range from 15 to 19 degrees Saturday will begin relatively dry in most places with some mist on fog along southern coasts. Towards late morning a band of rain in the Atlantic will begin to affect western coastal fringes. This band of rain will extend gradually eastwards during the afternoon but it will make slow progress, with rain only becoming persistent across the western half of the country by evening. Elsewhere it will remain dry with sunny spells. Towards Sunday, the last of the rain will clear to the east and may cause some showers along the east coast. The best sunny weather will be in the south of the country. Temperatures will reach highs of between 15 and 19 degrees.
