We have had a few glimpses of summer this year, but these have been as fleeting and ephemeral as Irish Water’s promises to fix the water pipes.
Tuesday afternoon has seen outbreaks of light rain across the country, and these are set to become heavier and more persistent throughout tomorrow.
Thursday is likely to be a cool and blustery day, with scattered heavy showers mixed with sunny periods.
The good news is that more settled conditions are forecast to return in time for the weekend, with temperatures hovering just below 20C.
