Country set for sunshine over May Bank Holiday weekend

The first day of summer has brought with it plenty of...rain.

And it looks set to remain rainy for the start of the week as Met Éireann forecasts showery spells for the rest of Tuesday and throughout Wednesday.

Wednesday will have sunny spells but showers will persist with some being heavy and there is even a risk of isolated thunderstorms.
