Mayo weather to stay unsettled until next weekend

The weather is picking up again next weekend.

According to Met. Éireann, it will be drier overall on Saturday and Sunday next with some sunshine as high pressure becomes a little more dominant.

There will still be some light showers or patchy rain and drizzle about though, mainly across western and northwestern counties.

In the meantime, the outlook remains unsettled.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be a mainly cloudy day with outbreaks of rain extending to most parts through the morning, with some heavy downpours.

Breezy with moderate to fresh southeast winds, veering southwest to west later, and increasing strong at times near coasts. Highest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.

Wednesday will be a brighter day overall with sunny spells, but scattered showers too. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in moderate north or northeasterly breezes, becoming mainly light in the evening.

Dry and clear Wednesday night, though some mist and fog will develop in places. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees in a light easterly or variable breeze.

Thursday will be dry overall with sunny spells and just well scattered showers, once early mist and fog clears. It'll be cloudier in the southwest and west though, with patchy rain and drizzle there.

Highest temperatures of 12 to 17 degrees, mildest further west, in a moderate east to southeast wind.

Rain will become persistent in the southwest and west on Thursday night.

Current indications for Friday suggest outbreaks of rain and drizzle will slowly edge northeastwards over the country with a clearance extending from the southwest during the afternoon and evening.

Highest temperatures of 11 to 15 degrees, in moderate southeasterly winds becoming lighter southwest as the rain clears.
