Low pressure is in charge now so plenty of wind and rain this week. Monday will see a mixture of sunshine and cloud. Overnight there will be some rain. But this will clear off in the morning to give a decent fair day for Tuesday. There will be a little frost overnight. On Wednesday it will cloud over again with some rain spreading up from the southwest. This will clear in the evening. On Thursday rain will move up over England but Ireland is expected to miss that system so a dry day is expected with just an overhang of cloud for a time. Sunshine and one or two showers for Friday. Quite calm on Saturday with a lot of cloud but holding dry. More rain spreading up from the southwest on Sunday. Next week the unsettled weather continues.
