Heavy showers will spread eastwards across the country today, bringing a risk of thunder and localised flooding, though it will gradually clear through the evening. Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees.

Tomorrow will start off dry in the east, however, showers will become widespread by early afternoon. Temperatures will fall slightly with expected highs of 13 to 17 degrees.

It's a similar story heading into the weekend, however Saturday looks set to be the best day, with sunny spells and highs of 16 to 19 degrees.

It was fun while it lasted, guys.
