Met \u00c9ireann has forecast plenty more rain as we head into the first week of September, but there could be some decent dry spells on the way.<\/p>\n
The east of the country will enjoy some dry weather at first today, but this will give way to showers spreading from the west. Those showers will turn heavy at times.<\/p>\n
More persistent rain during the day will be heaviest in the west and northwest and there will be a chance of some localised flooding. There will also be a chance of isolated thunderstorms today, particularly in western and northwestern areas.<\/p>\n
Highest temperatures today will be between 14 and 18C, with winds reaching near gale force along some parts of the west coast.<\/p>\n
Showers will continue to spread from the west tonight, turning to more prolonged or heavy spells of rain in the northwest. Eastern areas will turn dry overnight with lows of 11 to 14C.<\/p>\n
