Cloud covered skies are going to be a familiar sight for the rest of the week with Met Éireann saying the wet and cloudy weather from the bank holiday weekend looks set to continue.

However, the forecaster says temperatures will rise to the mid and late teens as the week progresses, even as high as 19C at times.
