It will be a dry and bright Tuesday morning for most with isolated showers, mainly in Ulster and parts of Munster.
Cloud will continue to build from the southwest throughout Tuesday, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle developing in the southwest by the afternoon. These will gradually extend northeastwards for the rest of the day, becoming heavy in the southwest later.
However, the rain will not reach Ulster and parts of north and east Leinster until night-time. Highest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees in light to moderate west to southwest winds, backing southerly later and freshening in the southwest and west.
Any remaining rain, drizzle and fog will clear early Wednesday morning, to leave a largely dry day.
It will be mostly cloudy in the morning with just limited bright spells, but there's likely to be more in the way of sunny spells through the afternoon. Later in the evening, some rain way start to encroach into southern coastal areas.
Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees with fresh and gusty southwesterly winds, strong or near gale force near western and northern coasts. The winds will begin to ease from the south later in the day.
Further showery outbreaks of rain are likely in the south and east through Thursday, with dry intervals at times.
Drier and sunnier in the north and west with a few showers. Highest temperatures of 16 to 19 degrees generally with light to moderate southwesterly winds, fresher near southern and northwestern coasts.
A mix of cloud and some sunny spells, along with isolated showers for most of Friday.
The best of the sunny spells will be in the north. Mostly cloudy, though in southeastern areas with a continued chance of showery outbreaks of rain. Highest temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees in mostly light breezes.
