Met Éireann rules out Storm Dave impacts but heavy rain and strong winds forecast

Tuesday started with rain and drizzle across the western Atlantic regions. It will remain mostly dry further east, with the odd spot of drizzle. Daytime temperatures will sit between 10C and 13C. Picture Denis Minihane.

Wet and windy conditions are set to continue across Ireland this week, with Met Éireann warning that a frontal system on Thursday night will bring a spell of heavy rain and possibly strong winds nationwide.

However, the forecaster says it is unlikely that any storm will directly impact Ireland, despite severe weather elsewhere, including Storm Dave in the Atlantic and Storm Hernando in the United States.
