Met Eireann end weather warnings but bad change coming for Ireland
The triple yellow alert is over but that doesn’t mean the bad weather is too
Met Eireann has ended its weather warnings for several counties after an evening of harsh wind and rain warranted yellow alerts.
The aftermath of that triple warning will see more unpleasant weather for Ireland as thunderstorms are forecast on Wednesday.
It will be a bright and fresh day with a mix of sunny spells to start with but heavy showers could also bring chances of isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
Temperatures of 18C will drop to 9C overnight with showers becoming gradually confined to western counties.
Here’s Met Eireann’s latest weather outlook:
Overview: “Mixed conditions with rain or showers at times. Some decent dry spells over the weekend also.”
Tomorrow: “Thursday morning will be mainly dry with sunny spells. During the afternoon, showery rain will develop in the west and will spread eastward through the late afternoon and evening, heavy at times. Highest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees with moderate southerly winds.
“On Thursday night, rain will spread eastwards across Ireland. It will clear to the east by morning with showers following from the west. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with mostly moderate southerly winds.”
Weekend: “Friday will bring bright or sunny spells and showers, some possibly heavy. Showers will mostly clear to the east in the evening. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees with moderate southwest winds. Friday night will be mainly dry and quite chilly with clear spells, light breezes and lowest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees.
“Saturday will be mainly dry with bright or sunny spells, the best of these over Munster and Leinster. Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees with moderate south to southwest winds.
“Sunday will be a cloudier day with showery rain in the west and north during the morning, extending southeastwards through the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees with moderate west to southwest winds.”
