Dry and sunny weather is on the horizon for Ireland as Met Eireann predicts a break from the relentless rain. From tomorrow, the country can expect an increase in temperature, with the mercury set to reach almost 20 degrees. However, this respite will be short-lived, as unsettled and rainy weather is expected to return on Wednesday. Therefore, it is essential to make the most of the upcoming dry spell. Unfortunately, the rest of the week is likely to be characterized by heavy downpours and overcast skies.
Met Eireann’s full forecast for the coming days is as follows:
Today, expect cloudy and wet conditions with outbreaks of rain. However, the rain will ease as the evening progresses. Temperatures will reach a high of 15 to 17 degrees, accompanied by mostly moderate northeasterly winds that will become fresher near the coasts.
Tonight, the weather will mostly be dry, with a mix of cloud and clear spells. The last of the rain will clear early in the night. Lowest temperatures will range from 9 to 12 degrees, with light to moderate northerly breezes.
Tomorrow, there will be sunny spells and scattered light showers, with plenty of dry intervals. The highest temperatures will range from 17 to 19 degrees, accompanied by light to moderate northwest breezes.
Monday night will be mostly dry, with long clear spells and only a few passing showers. Lowest temperatures will range from 7 to 11 degrees, with mostly light northwesterly breezes.
Tuesday will start off mostly dry with sunny spells, but cloud and scattered showers will extend from the west throughout the morning. In the afternoon and evening, thicker cloud, along with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, will push in from the west. The highest temperatures will range from 16 to 19 degrees, with light to moderate westerly breezes.
Tuesday night will see the continuation of rain outbreaks from the west, which may become heavy at times and could lead to surface flooding. Temperatures will generally not fall below 11 to 15 degrees, with light to moderate south to southwest breezes.
Wednesday will be a wet, cloudy, and blustery day, with widespread rain that could be heavy in some areas, potentially causing localized flooding. However, a clearance to showers will occur later in the day from the west. Highest temperatures will range from 17 to 20 degrees, accompanied by moderate to fresh southwesterly winds, which may be strong on exposed coasts.
Thursday will bring a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with showers expected throughout the day. However, there will also be plenty of dry intervals, particularly later in the day. The highest temperatures will range from 17 to 21 degrees, with mostly moderate westerly winds.
