In the upcoming days, the climate is expected to remain unstable with periods of consistent showers and rainfall, sometimes heavy. After Friday’s warm weather and sunshine that graced most regions, Saturday saw widespread rain. The rainfall was anticipated to be quite heavy, particularly in the western and northwestern areas, with a chance of localized flooding along with fog on hills and coastal regions.
As the day progressed, sunny intervals and scattered showers were predicted to appear in the west and southwest regions, gradually rolling in across the nation by the afternoon. The last bouts of rain will eventually evaporate from the eastern terrain by the evening. The highest recorded temperatures will range between 15 to 20 degrees with occasional light wind flow from the south, which is set to turn northwesterly and grow moderate after the rainfall.
Saturday night promises to be chilly with clear intervals and intermittent showers and is expected to become more overcast as the morning approaches, with the development of sporadic light rain and drizzle. The temperature will hit a low between 8 to 11 degrees accompanied by a light westerly breeze.
Sunday, the day of the All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final between Cork and Clare, will likely be a gloomy one, with a significant number of fans anticipated to attend the match. Although it’ll be dry for most attendees at the start, patchy light rain and drizzle from the west and southwest will seep across the entire country as the day progresses, enhancing in intensity by evening within western regions. The highest temperatures will hover between 15 to 19 degrees in the presence of mild to moderate southwesterly winds.
An overcast night is expected to follow, with consistent showers of rain and drizzle, remaining heavy mostly in the western and northern parts. The temperatures will hold between 13 to 15 degrees under mild to moderate southwesterly wind conditions.
The forthcoming Monday promises to be an overcast and humid day characterised by periodic rainfall and light drizzling. As the day progresses, the rain is likely to recede southeastwards, resulting in peak temperatures ranging between 15 and 20 degrees during the day. The night is expected to maintain its largely dry and clear conditions, interrupted minimally by a few gentle showers, bringing minimum temperatures between 9 to 12 degrees.
Come Tuesday, the weather is forecasted to improve significantly, bringing periods of indistinct sunshine interspersed with occasional light showers. The highest temperatures would fall in the spectrum of 17 to 21 degrees, facilitated by the mild westerly winds. The weather will take a turn towards cloudiness on Wednesday, with sporadic light rainfall and drizzle from the west, accompanied by top temperatures between 18 and 22 degrees.
Looking further ahead, the latter half of the week is likely to stay generally unstable, marked by recurrent downpours and rainfall.
