Ireland met Wednesday under the weight of Storm Babet, the latest in a bruising week of frost, flooding risk, and unsettled skies. The storm would press hardest on southern coastal counties through the morning before relenting by evening, leaving a mixed but gradually brightening forecast in its wake. Further ahead, a five-day dry spell beginning October 25th offers something rarer than sunshine in late autumn — the quiet promise of reprieve.
