As for Met Éireann’s national forecast for the weekend, it says that Saturday looks set to be a mostly dry day with a mix of cloud and sunshine.
The best of the sunshine is expected across the north and east of the country, while there will be a few well-scattered showers mainly confined to the southwest.
Highest temperatures are forecast to range from 18 to 22 degrees.
However, while it will be mostly dry at first on Saturday night, cloud will thicken from the south and outbreaks of rain will spread across Munster and Connacht before dawn.
This rain will extend nationwide on Sunday, turning heavy and persistent with the possibility of localised flooding.
Maximum temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees are expected.
There will then be further outbreaks of rain overnight, again with the continued potential for spot flooding.
Showers are set to gradually ease and clear on Monday with dry and bright periods developing ahead of what appears to be a fairly dry start to next week.
