Plans for the weekend? This is the weather you’ll be doing them in

When it comes to the weather, us Irish can take almost anything thrown at us, but Lawd, we really need a break from the humid shower-fest we're currently dealing with.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we're going to get respite any time soon if the good folk over at Met Éireann are to be believed, and they are.

According to the weekend's forecast, we're in for even more scattered showers coupled with humid conditions – everything we could want after a Saturday spent in the hairdressers,

Southern and Western areas of the country can expect heavy and thundery rainfall tonight which will continue into Saturday, and may be interspersed with welcome sunny spells.

Sunday will bring us more scattered showers while the humid conditions may make way for light breezes.

While temperatures are set to reach 22 degrees in some areas of the country, we are also advised to expect spot flooding in some places.

Oh, marvellous!
