The weather forecast for Saturday is for any showers in the east and north to clear to leave a dry and mostly sunny day, with just a little patchy cloud bubbling up in the afternoon. Rather cool despite the sunshine though, with maxima ranging 9 to 15 degrees north to south, with the highest values again in Munster. Moderate northeasterly winds, fresh along coasts at first, will gradually ease through the day.
