Wet and windy bank holiday but sunny spells due

Another October bank holiday weekend comes and goes but the weather remains the same — wet, windy and miserable.

The entire population could have been forgiven for not even bothering to get out of bed yesterday such was the grim weather conditions.

Unfortunately, there were not many parts of the country to escape to for a patch of sunshine. Met Éireann issued a day-long Status Yellow rainfall warning for Dublin, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow, Meath, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary and Waterford until midnight.
