Tipperary is in for one last blast of sunshine on Friday before weather conditions begin to turn cooler and more unsettled heading into the weekend.

According to Met Éireann, Friday will bring dry and mainly sunny conditions across most of the county, with temperatures climbing to a pleasant 16 to 21 degrees.

However, residents near western and southern coastal areas may see fog lingering through parts of the day, keeping things cooler and duller where it persists.

By Friday night, clear skies will give way to patches of mist and fog, some of which could become dense overnight. Temperatures are expected to drop to between 1 and 6 degrees, so it’ll be a crisp, cool start to Saturday.

Weekend Weather Outlook for Tipperary:

Saturday: The sunshine fades as cloud cover increases, though hazy bright spells may still break through at times. Most areas will stay dry through the morning, but light rain and drizzle could move in by late afternoon or evening. Temperatures will range from 12 to 16 degrees.

Temperatures will struggle to reach 9 to 12 degrees, making it feel much cooler than recent days.

Monday: Another unsettled day with showers becoming widespread through the afternoon — again with the risk of hail and isolated thunderstorms. Expect highs of just 9 to 12 degrees.
