A mixed bag of weather conditions is set to dominate the country this week, as Met Éireann says rain, dry conditions and humidity will take over.
In Munster, today will be mostly cloudy with "very limited sunny spells" and just a few patches of light rain or drizzle.
According to the national forecaster, it will be humid with highest temperatures of 17C to 22C, warmest in the south of the province, with a light to moderate southwesterly breeze.
Tonight will be mild and humid in mostly cloudy conditions with a few spots of light rain or drizzle.
Some mist and hill fog are expected too. Lowest temperatures will be around 14C to 17C degrees, with light to moderate southwesterly winds.
Mostly cloudy today with scattered outbreaks of light rain&drizzle mainly affecting the northern half of the country🌧️

Tomorrow will be warm and humid, remaining mostly dry with just the odd spot of light rain or drizzle possible.
"While it will be quite cloudy at first, sunny spells should improve as the day goes on," Met Éireann has said.
Highest temperatures of 19C to 23C degrees are expected, with mostly moderate, occasionally fresh, southwesterly winds.
Wednesday will start off generally cloudy with outbreaks of rain in the north and west, slowly clearing southeastwards through the day with sunny spells and drier conditions following. Highs of 17C to 24C are expected, and it will be warmest in the south and east.
It will then stay dry and clear on Wednesday night with few light showers affecting Atlantic coastal areas.
Thursday will then feel fresher than previous days with a mix of sunny spells and showers. It will be heaviest and most persistent further north, with highs of 15C to 21c.
Friday will be a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers, with the driest conditions further south. Highs of 16C to 22C are expected.
Looking into the bank holiday weekend, current indications suggest Saturday and Sunday will be mostly dry with a few showers on Monday and temperatures in the high teens or low twenties generally.
