NASA image highlights heavy rain over Ulster

The small depression that brought heavy rain to parts of Ulster this morning is visible on a NASA MODIS image of Ireland from 11.00am on Wednesday. 

Scattered showers can be seen across the rest of Ireland with the best of any clear spells in the west.

Scattered showers will continue this afternoon, but long clear spells will develop away from Ulster, north Leinster and north Connacht.

Showers will continue to affect Ulster this evening and could merge to give a longer spell of rain here for a time. It will remain dry elsewhere with spells of sunshine.

Top temperatures of 5 to 8c in moderate westerly winds.
