Temperatures set to drop as 'tangled web of fronts' impacts Ireland, warns Met Éireann
Forecaster says it will be cooler this week but that it could have been worse
Temperatures across Ireland are set to drop this week as a band of low pressure passes close by, Met Éireann has warned.
However, the country is expected to avoid the worst of the weather as a separate high pressure system is set to move in closer from the Atlantic Oceans ensuring the next few days remain largely dry - albeit colder.
"It's a good damp, wet and drizzly start out there this Monday morning but don't worry this should be the worst of it for much of this week," said forecaster Mark Bowe.
In the latest audio forecast on the Met Éireann website, he added: "Right now there is a tangled web of fronts and areas of low pressure essentially just getting rinsed out over us but the good news is that high pressure is out in the Atlantic waiting to move in a little closer."
According to the latest Met Éireann forcecast, this system of high pressure will help keep a "fresh and cool northwesterly breeze over the country" which will clear away the low pressure system.
Most areas will experience clear and light spells this Monday afternoon but it will feel a little cooler with highs of between 15 and 18 degrees.
