A complex pressure system with multiple centres, including one northwest of Malin Head, brought a moderate southwest to west airflow across Ireland during the day. An active weather front was situated over the country. Early in the morning, the South and East were cloudy and rainy, while the West and North remained drier. As the morning rain cleared, it was replaced by showers, and later in the afternoon longer spells of rain moved in from the Atlantic. By evening, drier and clearer conditions spread across the southwest, continuing into the night.
