Met Eireann has predicted a “mix of cloud and sunny spells” for Cork today, with temperatures in the early double digits – making it an ideal day for venturing out.
The forecast changes this evening however as our national forecaster said that there will be “outbreaks of rain” moving in from the west, although these are expected to “clear away quickly.”
So if you’re hitting the town it’s best to be prepared with an umbrella or raincoat. Thursday on the other hand is stated to start off dry with sunshine later in the day, and still fairly cool at 7 to 9 degrees celsius. All in all, pretty grand weather ahead.

Overnight the rain should be mostly gone, leaving chilly temperatures of -2 to +2 with light-moderate westerly airflow.
