This Christmas morning looks like it’s going to be fairly humid and breezy with ongoing and heavy outbreaks in some areas, according to Mette Erian.
It will be very windy across Ulster and Leinster, particularly in the coastal areas. Elsewhere, the breeze is mild and refreshing.
Conditions will be somewhat drier and sunnier in Münster and south Connacht, where heavy rains give way to scattered rain in the afternoon.
However, rain around the north and east is likely to continue for most of the day.
Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 7 and 11 degrees.
