What can we expect from weather?

I have not looked it very precicely (I am still a bit sleepy since Portugal and I do not know which region the rally covers I assume it is close to the northern border?) but seems that all the water went to Portugal and risk of rain in Ireland is close to zero, Maybe minimal amount of some fog kind of rain at some point of the rally. But, the temperature might drop below zero degrees during some morning stages. Mostly the temperature should be between +3..+5 in the morning, +8..+10 during the day.

Hailstones and some snow today I believe. Rain on Friday, dry on Saturday but cold-ish, no more than 8c.

Really looking forward to this event now. Entry lists might be weaker than many IRC events in the past, but we still don't know who's gonna win! Mikkelsen should have a bit of an advantage with his prior knowledge of Irish roads, Kopecky is on good form but I think he generally prefers faster events with wider roads and Hanninen can never be discounted. The Peugeot looks good in the testing video, maybe Breen really can challenge?
