A weather expert has pinpointed when to expect the heaviest rain throughout the coming week, as weather warnings continue throughout the country.

The weekend saw 25 counties hit with the Yellow fog warnings, which are set to continue for many into Monday.

From 9pm on Saturday until 11am on Sunday, Connacht, Leinster, Munster, Cavan and Monaghan were under the alert with poor visibility and difficult travelling conditions as a result.

Throughout Sunday there will be some reprieve until a fresh warning comes into effect from 9pm.

Similarly, this will last until 11am on Monday and covers Connacht, Cavan, Donegal, Longford, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Westmeath.

Met Éireann warned of ‘areas of dense fog developing.’

Weather expert Alan O’Reilly on Carlow forecast wet weather for the week ahead — and pinpointed when the rain would be heaviest.

Taking to X on Sunday morning, O’Reilly said: ‘We have some milder air moving up Monday but a blast of cooler air will move down from Thursday for a few days.

‘The coming week will see spells of rain move up Monday with heavy rain Tuesday before becoming dryer again from Wednesday.’

Met Éireann had the same outlook, forecasting ‘wetter conditions’ to begin from Monday, with a few heavy outbursts overnight.

Tuesday would be ‘dull and damp or wet’ to begin though parts of north Ulster may escape the worst of it.

Met Éireann added that there was some uncertainty surrounding Wednesday, though they expect outbreaks of rain and drizzle to become ‘increasingly confined’ to the south of the country.

Thursday would be a mostly dry day, giving way to a cool and dry day on Friday.

Looking towards next weekend, Met Éireann said: ‘High pressure will decline eastwards over the weekend, allowing Atlantic low pressure to become more dominant.’
