Mid-week onwards, drier conditions are likely to prevail over the region, bringing more unsettled conditions.
As of today, torrential downpours may occur in western and northern areas, due to westerly winds that are approaching the region. Temperatures will remain comparatively high between 12-14 degrees Celsius.
A yellow-status weather alert was issued for most of the weekend for heavy rainfall. The warning was for Wexford, Wicklow, Cork and Waterford, alarming high inundated situations.
Another yellow alert was in place yesterday for small sailing crafts due to the southerly winds out at sea.
