Easter Monday - a day for lounging around consuming large amounts of chocolate while watching movies.

And if you're feeling guilty for not making more of your Bank Holiday... don't: it's pretty miserable out there today. In fact, a rainfall warning is currently in place for Wexford, Wicklow, Cork, and Waterford. Across the country, Met Eireann has also warned of heavy showers of rain and sleet - showers that are only going to get heavier as the day progresses. With a yellow warning in place, we're being told of "heavy rain and strong easterly winds". Met Eireann adds: "Further rain, sleet and hill snow for much of Monday in the far north. Elsewhere turning less cold with rain gradually giving way to showers." *Shudder* https://twitter.com/MetEireann/status/980728991194677248 Another recent Met Eireann update from Monday morning reads: "Scattered falls of rain for a time this morning, especially further north of the country with some wintry falls here. "Brightening up a small bit through the day with brisk easterly winds easing too, however scattered heavy showers will follow, especially across Leinster, with rain and sleet lingering across northern counties." https://twitter.com/MetEireann/status/980728654484459520 Meanwhile, maximum temperatures across the southern half of the country will range from 8C to 12C. In northern parts it'll be colder: highs of only 3C to 7C. On Monday night a lot of those showers will continue, especially in the far north and far south. Except mist and ground frost too. Lowest temperatures will range from 1C to 6C.
