Driving conditions

There's a bit of drizzle down near Galway, turning into proper rain as you head towards Sligo. Visibility's alright, even with the mist, but watch out for spray from bigger lorries on the wetter bits. It's fairly mild out, between 13 and 20 degrees, and the wind's not strong enough to bother you. The road's still easy enough to drive, even with the rain. Looks like it'll be the same story tomorrow, so don't expect it to clear up. Forecast for
