This week will kick off with a few days of mixed weather, but things look set to take a turn for the worse as we head towards Halloween.
Bank holiday Monday will start off dry in most areas with the west and southwest seeing some cloud and patches of rain or drizzle, while there will be showers in Ulster counties.
That rain will then spread across the rest of the country this afternoon before clearing in the evening. Highest temperatures will be between 10 and 14C.
