More rain is forecast early this week, before the weather turns brighter, colder and largely dry as Friday approaches, according to Met Éireann. It comes after another week of heavy rain and flooding in parts of the country last week. This will be heaviest across southern counties in the earlier part of the day, before moving northern counties later. Thursday night will be largely dry with clear spells and the possibility of isolated showers. Friday is forecast to be a bright and mostly dry day, with good spells of sunshine.
