If you’re hoping to step outside today, you’re in luck – for most of the country, it’s shaping up to be an ideal spring day, full of sun. Mist and fog will lift during the morning hours, revealing long spells of sunshine across the country. Temperatures will rise as the day progresses, with the west potentially seeing highs of up to 19°C. The south and east coasts will feel cooler due to light sea breezes. After a long run of unsettled patterns, today offers a dry and bright interlude.

Overview Table: Regional Forecast

Tonight’s Conditions

Tonight will remain dry and mostly clear, ideal for anyone planning a late walk or drive. However, be aware of the return of fog patches and potential frost in some rural areas. Temperatures will dip as low as 0°C in Ulster, while the west and southwest will stay a bit milder. Winds will remain light and variable, leading to calm overnight conditions.

What This Means for You

This is the kind of Irish day that creeps up quietly – deceptively warm in the west but still carrying a springtime chill near coasts and early mornings. Expect road and pedestrian visibility to be limited in the early hours due to fog, especially in low-lying and coastal areas. Layers are advised: it may start brisk but warm up rapidly in sunnier regions.

Looking Ahead

The dry and bright pattern appears to hold steady into Tuesday, with only minimal risk of cloud building midweek. Those in agriculture, construction or outdoor leisure will benefit from this early-April dry spell. But make no mistake – any illusion of an early summer should be taken cautiously. Showers could return by Thursday, particularly in the southwest.
