Whether cold weather will dampen spirits at this weekend’s Heineken Green Energy festival in Dublin will be seen tomorrow as the usual cold and showery bank-holiday weather kicks in.
Those who have decided to stay in Dublin for the holiday weekend can expect dry but cool conditions for tomorrow and Sunday, although showers - long showers - are forecast for Monday.
The rest of the country is unlikely to fare much better with rain expected in the West over the course of the three days with temperatures dropping as low as 4 degrees tomorrow night.
The south-west is likely to be both the coldest and wettest place in Ireland to spend the weekend, with maximum temperatures of only 12 degrees.
The English FA Cup final, being played in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff tomorrow will not be affected by the showers while the Scottish Cup final between Rangers and Celtic is forecast to be overcast and cloudy.
Travel wise, Bus Eireann is predicting up to 100,000 passengers travelling over the weekend between today and Monday, with normal services operating today and tomorrow.
Sunday services will operate on both Sunday and Monday although there will be some extra service on Monday evening for people trying to get back to Dublin.
Trains will run as normal, but passengers are advised to contact information offices to verify the times of travel as the holiday build-up begins.
Meanwhile, if the traffic in the south of the country is not chaotic enough for you, then try to drive around the lakes of Killarney tomorrow and Sunday when the Killarney Lakes International Rally will be held - resulting in the closure of many local roads and areas.
This afternoon, traffic is moving well on the N3, according to AA Roadwatch. To avoid delays later at Navan motorists are advised to stay on the N2 and head north through Ashbourne and Slane.
N4 traffic is expected to move well for once, following the opening of the Enfield by-pass but avoid the village to avoid delays.
Both Stena Line and Irish Ferries sailings are running according to schedule are expected to continue to do so over the weekend.
All major airports are operating as normal with no delays at Cork, Shannon or Dublin.
