St Patrick's Day weather forecast for Donegal will see some scattered showers

If you're planning on attending any of the St Patrick's Day festivities in Donegal over the weekend, you might want to bring a brolly.

There are a host of activities taking place around the county over the next three days, and Met Éireann has forecast changeable weather.

Today, Saturday, they say will be rather dull and wet today with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. A little breezy too with moderate to fresh southerly winds and highest temperatures of 9 to 13 degrees.

Tonight, rain will clear to the east early this evening, followed by clear spells and isolated showers. More frequent showers will move into the west and southwest towards dawn. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in light to moderate southerly winds.

Then on Sunday, a cloudy start to St Patrick's Day with showers in the west and south spreading across the country through the morning and afternoon. Turning dry with sunny spells in Munster and Connacht by afternoon, though scattered showers will continue elsewhere until early evening. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with light to moderate southerly winds veering westerly.
