Met Éireann anticipates that the current unstable weather spell sweeping Ireland will continue into the coming week and possibly beyond.
The country has faced days of windy and wet conditions, with only brief bursts of sunshine, and the bad weather is expected to continue.
Met Éireann also said it could start getting colder again from the end of next week.
In its forecast for Saturday, Met Éireann said it would be “windy and cool with sunny spells and scattered showers, some heavy with the potential for hail and isolated thunderstorms. More frequent showers will spread from the west this afternoon. Southerly winds will increase fresh to strong and gusty, with gales on west and northwest coasts. Highs seas will develop on western coasts also. Highest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees,” reports The Mirror.
They say Sunday will also start blustery with moderate to fresh southerly winds, sometimes strong near the Atlantic coast.
It’s not all bad news with “sunny spells and further bands of showers through the day, heaviest and most persistent in the west and south with some hail and thunderstorms possible,” reports The Mirror.
Sunday night brings brightening and more showers, rain or hail, especially in the western half of the country. Minimum temperatures of 1 to 4 degrees with moderate to cool westerly winds.
In its forecast, Met Éireann says: “On Monday, there’ll be bright or sunny spells and some further showers. these will be mainly in the west and north and will mostly die out through the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees with moderate to fresh westerly breezes. On Monday night, persistent rain will gradually spread northeastwards to all areas with freshening southeasterly winds. Westerly breezes will gradually die out as the showers along western coasts become more isolated and confined to Ulster. Lowest temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees,” reports The Mirror.
