As Donegal gets ready for a number of St Patrick’s Day parades, the county can expect a rather blustery day.
Rain and drizzle will affect the county this morning under a cloudy sky, but brighter spells are likely to develop as the showers clear.
Temperatures will reach a high of 10 to 12°C, accompanied by fresh to strong southwest winds.
Coastal areas should be prepared for gusty conditions, with gales possible along the shoreline.
Scattered showers may follow later in the day, but overall, parade-goers can expect improving weather after a wet start.
