Ireland’s daytime highs might drop as low as a freezing 2C in the upcoming days, as Met Eireann issues a warning about deteriorating weather, reports The Mirror.
This comes after a violent weekend that saw gale-force winds and torrential rain in some regions of the nation. Numerous weather warnings were issued, including second-highest level Status Orange alerts, and the most recent prediction indicates that awful conditions are expected to persist.
This week will start off “mostly dry and settled,” according to the national forecaster, but as the weekend draws near, more “unsettled” weather is predicted. The whole week will have “cooler than average” temperatures, it added.
It said: “The pressure pattern signal over Ireland is mixed for this week. High pressure to the northwest will likely lead to cooler than average conditions for the week, with lower than average precipitation amounts for the north and west of the country. Parts of the east and southeast however may see precipitation amounts trending above average for early October,” reports The Mirror.
