Cool and blustery Thursday ahead for Mayo

MAYO is set for a fresh and blustery day on Thursday, with sunny spells and scattered showers expected across the county.

Met Éireann is forecasting showers to be most frequent during the morning and early afternoon, before becoming more isolated through the evening.

Highest temperatures are expected to reach between 13 and 17 degrees, with moderate to fresh and gusty westerly winds developing throughout the day.

Winds will be strong in some coastal parts of Mayo, with conditions feeling noticeably blustery at times.

The outlook comes after a spell of more persistent rain and drizzle moving across Atlantic counties on Wednesday evening and overnight.

Showers will become more isolated later on Thursday, with some brighter and drier intervals developing.
