A slight improvement in the weather is in the offing for the weekend with temperatures set to increase – but the changeable, showery conditions are predicted to persist. A stiff northerly breeze made for a frigid couple of days especially in the east with temperatures in Dublin on Thursday reaching a high of only 12.8 degrees. The long term forecast is for the changeable showery conditions to continue into the middle of next week. It will get progressively warmer though with temperatures reaching 17 degrees on Sunday, but there will be a lot of heavy rain in places. In Dublin Joyceans will be out on Sunday to mark Bloomsday and the annual celebration of James Joyce’s great masterpiece Ulysses.
