Trick-or-treaters hoping for an enjoyable Halloween night are being advised to go out early this afternoon to avoid the rain.
Little witches, ghosts, superheroes, and many other characters are expected to be out and about in towns and villages across Donegal today.
But with heavy rain expected in the evening, the trick to avoid getting the costumes wet is to go out before the showers hit from around 6pm.
Met Eireann is forecasting a chilly night with low temperatures of 5 to 6C.
‘Persistent and heavy rain’ is forecast for the north west in the evening time, which will ease later and clear slowly by early Friday morning.
Friday will see further outbreaks of rain and heavy downpours could lead to local flooding in areas during the night.
Met Eireann is warning of a washout weekend, with more rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Cold and clearer weather is expected for the early days of next week.
