The rain is back. It's obviously the weatherman's fault (according to a B*Witched source).

The good news for those out and about is that it's going to be a warm day and even if you're stuck inside there's plenty of sport to look forward too.

There's La ROGelle v Leinster in the rugby, some football and hurlin', and of course the biggie in the 3Arena that everyone's talking about - Katie Taylor v Chantelle Cameron.

Outside it's going to be mostly cloudy throughout the day and the rain will be light - Met Eireann say "more persistent outbreaks" will develop later in the southeast of the province.

Tonight will see that continue, before it'll be mainly dry Sunday morning. Those showers will return again as the day goes on.

They said: "This morning will be mostly cloudy across Munster with patchy light rain or drizzle in some areas. This afternoon and evening, more persistent outbreaks of rain will develop. "The southeast of the province will stay mainly dry. Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees with light variable breezes.

"Tonight, there will be outbreaks of rain and drizzle in many areas. It will be most persistent early in the night and will be very light and patchy by morning. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 12 degrees with light variable breezes.

"Sunday morning will be mainly dry with just a little drizzle in places. During the afternoon and evening, showers will develop in southern parts of Munster. Highest temperatures of 16 to 18 degrees with light northerly breezes."

Next week is looking fairly calm - there'll be a bit of sun, a few isolated showers, and temperatures will remain in the high teens.

It could get a bit more unsettled in parts but overall it's going to stay as warm as last week.
