Mixed weather this weekend but remnants of Storm Dexter to bring warmer conditions for a few days

"Later in the weekend and for early next week, it looks like becoming warmer and more humid, with the remnants of ex-tropical storm Dexter lying to the west and north of Ireland," she added. The rain will continue to move towards the southeast on Saturday morning, clearing the south coast by early afternoon. It will be followed by sunny spells from the north, with just a few showers. Temperatures tomorrow will stay between 16 and 21C, with fresher winds again near the north coast. ADVERTISEMENT Any showers in the northwest will die out on Saturday night, remaining dry and clear, but a few mist or fog patches are likely, with temperatures dropping to 11 and 15C. It will become cloudier from the southwest later in the night, while some Munster coastal parts might see a little drizzle by Sunday morning.

Tropical Storm Dexter to bring 'warmer and more humid conditions' to Ireland
The tropical storm that has been strengthening in the Atlantic Ocean is not set to make landfall in Ireland, but it will impact our weather. Storm Dexter was first spotted last Sunday evening, located about 300 miles west-northwest of Bermuda. It has moved northeastwards since that point, however, Met Éireann says it does not expect any "impactful" weather in Ireland. A spokesperson told the Irish Examiner: "Tropical Storm Dexter has now undergone extra-tropical transition and is weakening. "The remnants of the ex-tropical storm will move across the Atlantic and send some patchy rain and drizzle our way, particularly to the west and northwest of the country, on Sunday afternoon. "However, there is no impactful weather expected." The storm will bring "some mild and humid air with a more southerly airflow". "This is likely to result in some warmer and more humid conditions for a time early next week, with highest temperatures expected to reach the low to mid-20s. While there will be good spells of sunshine, some heavy showers may occur in parts too." Met Éireann said that from midweek, though details remain uncertain, we are likely to return to a fresher westerly airflow, with temperatures returning to average in the high teens. Unsettled conditions Overall, the next couple of days will see unsettled conditions. There will be some well-scattered showers on Friday, becoming isolated in the evening. Later on Friday evening, cloud will begin to build from the northwest. A band of rain will spread southeastwards from the north on Saturday morning, clearing the south coast by early afternoon. Sunny spells will follow from the north with just a few scattered showers and temperature highs of 16C to 21C. Sunday will begin with some sunny spells, especially in the north and east. However, cloud will continue to gradually push up from the southwest during the day, bringing some patchy rain. Much of Leinster may stay dry but will become rather overcast by evening.
