A forecaster told the Irish Mirror:

"It'll be mostly dry, if rather cloudy, during the day as the drizzle and fog becomes mostly confined to the hills and some Atlantic coasts.

"Some breaks in cloud may develop at times.

"It'll be mild, with highs of 9C to 11C in light southerly breezes.

"Cloudy and misty with patchy drizzle and fog, but dry in other areas. Lowest temperatures of 4C to 8C."
