Ireland is in store for a washout week, with outbreaks of rain forecast across the next coming days - but temperatures will remain mild with no frost appearing just yet. The week is off to a dull and blustery start with heavy rain hitting the western half of the country, before outbreaks of rain continue in Munster and south Leinster tonight, turning heavy in places. Overall, Met Éireann forecasters have said the coming days will be unsettled with frequent spells of wet and blustery weather, but temperatures are expected to stay relatively mild and frost free. On Tuesday morning and afternoon, outbreaks of rain will spread northwards across the country, while Wednesday is set to be a wet day with widespread rain, heavy in some western areas. Thursday will see a drier and brighter start with sunny spells and just a few lingering patches of drizzle, before a spell of rain moves in, and further outbreaks of rain are likely on Friday. Meanwhile, a Status Yellow Rain warning for Clare, Kerry, Galway, and Mayo will also remain in place until 8pm.
