WEATHER: Warmest in the West! Leitrim and West to see best weather this week

Residents across County Leitrim can expect some of the mildest conditions in the country this week, according to forecasts from Met Éireann. The western region, including Leitrim, is set to experience the warmest temperatures, while eastern areas will remain cooler by comparison.

Maximum temperatures are anticipated to reach between 13 and 19 degrees across the country, with the western counties benefiting from the higher end of this range. Today's conditions are expected to remain dry, with variable cloud cover predicted throughout the day.

The favourable weather pattern positions the West and Leitrim particularly well compared to other parts of Ireland during the coming days. Those in the county planning outdoor activities should take advantage of the dry spell, though the mild temperatures mean layers may still be advisable depending on wind conditions.

The forecast comes as many parts of the country prepare for the week ahead, with Met Éireann continuing to monitor atmospheric conditions across the island.
