The recent dry and sunny spell is sadly coming to an abrupt end today.
While the day will begin dry and bright in most places, scattered showers willvput an appearance in the south of the country towards the evening.
Tomorrow morning will be another bright start, but patchy outbreaks of rain will occur in the afternoon, and Sunday will be the worst day of the lot, with widespread rainfall predicted, heavy in places.
Weather patterns will remain unsettled during the coming week, with overcast skies and cooler temperatures.
