Met Eireann say 'dominating' weather event to change Ireland forecast drastically in days
It will see massive changes to the weekend and into next week
Met Eireann are forecasting that a ‘dominating’ weather event will change conditions drastically over the weekend and into next week.
The National Forecaster say early signs of the weekend forecast show much more settled conditions adding that “high pressure will dominate our weather which will bring largely dry days and lighter winds compared to recent weeks”.
The signs of which will be seen somewhat on Thursday as the day starts off dry and bright with sunny spells as sprinkles of rain and cloud hit along the way.
Temperatures of 17C will drop to 10C overnight as showery outbreaks spread across Ireland staying in the south and east - so Galway will miss the most of it.
Here’s Met Eireann’s updated weather forecast for the next few days:
Tomorrow: “Sunny spells for most at first Friday morning with some heavy showers over southern counties. Towards the west, cloud and rain will push in through the morning and spread eastwards through the day, turning heavy at times especially over western counties. A clearance to sunny spells will follow into the west through the evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 18 degrees, coolest in the northwest, in moderate to fresh southwesterly winds that will veer westerly and ease through the evening as the rain clears.
Friday night: “Any lingering rain in the east and south will soon clear to leave a mainly dry night with clear spells, light breezes and lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees.”
Start of the weekend: “Saturday will be mainly dry with bright or sunny spells, the best of these over Munster and Leinster. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees in light southwesterly breezes. A mainly dry night apart from the off spot of light rain or drizzle near northwestern coasts. Cloudy here too with long clear spells elsewhere. Patchy mist and fog may form towards southern coasts. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 12 degrees in light to moderate south to southwest winds.”
