Ireland can expect severe weather this week as the country’s mild temperatures enjoy a brief, cool breeze.
Met Eireann warned it would turn “fresh and little cooler”, with daytime temperatures forecast to hover around the mid-teens.
It follows a warm start to the week, with the thermometer reaching a high of 23 degrees Celsius on Monday. However, from tomorrow, the mercury will barely cross 15 degrees Celsius during the day and stay in the single digits at night, reports The Mirror.
Rain threatens for the rest of the week, with heavy downpours likely to drench the country.

Highest temperatures of 16C to 20C in a light to moderate south to southwest wind. Scattered showers early tonight then mainly dry with clear spells overnight. Lowest temperatures of 7C to 12C with light to moderate south to southwest winds at first, becoming calm later,” reports The Mirror.
