‘Changeable’ week ahead as Met Éireann forecast mix of rain and sunshine

Met Éireann has forecast a “changeable” week ahead with rain at times, but also some “drier sunnier interludes”.

Today will start off with showers dying away to bring a mostly dry day with some sunny spells. Cloud will then build up later, bringing rain and drizzle in the west and southwest.

That rain and drizzle will spread further tonight. Highest temperatures today will be between 16 and 22C.

There is another mild, humid night in store with lows of 12 to 16C.

Tuesday morning will be mostly cloudy with just patches of rain or drizzle, but it will turn mostly dry in Connacht and Ulster by afternoon. There will be some spells of bright, sunny weather too, with highest temperatures of 15 to 22C.

While Tuesday night will be cloudy it will be mostly and it will again be humid, with lows ranging from 11C in the northwest to 15C in the south.

On Wednesday, much of the morning and afternoon will be dry, with just the odd shower. Rain will spread from the west of the country in the evening, possibly turning heavy or thundery at times. Highest temperatures will range from 17 to 22C.

Conditions will turn breezy from Thursday, when there will again be sunshine and showers. It will then turn cloudy in the afternoon, bringing more showers before “more persistant” rain spreads later in the day, with highs of 15 to 19C.

Friday will continue breezy and there will be a possibility of some heavy rain in the west and north, while it will be drier in the east and south with bright, sunny spells.

Met Éireann’s outlook for the coming weekend suggests the weather will remain “changeable” with rain at times but some “decent drier sunnier interludes likely too”.
