The remainder of the coming week will be unsettled with spells of heavy rain and strong south to south-westerly winds as Atlantic low pressure systems track close to Ireland.
Gusts of more than 60-70km/h can be expected during Tuesday and Wednesday, with gusts reaching 85-90 km/h during the first half of Thursday ahead of much stronger winds across Ireland on Friday morning.
All parts of Ireland will experience strong winds on Friday with gusts of more than 100 km/h likely.
Saturday will be less windy day as a deep area of low pressure tracks to the northwest of Ireland bringing maximum gusts of 100-110km/h to the west and north on Sunday.
Rain will be a feature of our weather each day with the exception of Saturday which will be largely dry and bright across the country.
Temperatures for the week will be above average and will range from 11 to 14c each day. Overnight temperatures will remain well above freezing.
Next week is looking less unsettled, but it will turn cooler as winds shift westerly.
