HOLIDAY MONDAY
--------------------------
A subtle change taking place on Monday. With pressure falling the atmosphere is going to become more unstable, this in turn increasing the risk of some showers.
Overall it is a fair start to the day. It should be stying fair throughout in central and eastern areas. However, showers may trigger along southern and western coasts and hills, a few of these heavy in the afternoon.
Some low cloud and fog may affect the coasts of southern Ireland.
Winds SE 12-18kt (F4-F5) for most.
