Suns shining but it wont last much longer

The sun is splitting the stones out there again today but the advice is to make the most of it as there's a change a-coming in the weather.

Met Eireann are forecasting that while it will be dry in many areas at first tomorrow, rain will spread northwards during the afternoon, turning persistent for a time. Brighter conditions with scattered showers will follow later.

The weather is predicted to be unsettled and showery for the weekend and early next week, with temperatures taking a dip too.

The Met service prediction is that the early days of next week 'will continue changeable and unsettled, with moderate to fresh northwesterly winds. A cold regime, with temperatures below normal for late April, with some frosts at night. Showers are likely each day, some heavy and with some hail'.
