Met Éireann has revealed when high pressure will ‘weaken its grip’ on Ireland, with rain, thunder and flooding possible.
The weather service released a detailed weekly forecast for June, indicating that the first week (June 5-11) will continue to be characterized by high pressure with “settled conditions” and “well below average rainfall,” reports The Mirror.
“Potential hazards will include the potential for increased drought conditions, and elevated fire risk and the potential for a high temperature warning in the southwest,” they said, reports The Mirror.
In the second week (Monday June 12 to Sunday June 18), the high pressure will “weaken its grip”, but temperatures can still be above average, it is drier than average and it remains “mostly settled.”
“This will add to the drought risk and the fire potential although the high temperature potential look to be a little lower on average,” Met Éireann said, reports The Mirror.
“There is the potential in this scenario for some thundery falls of rain with the flow predominantly from the southeast with the added potential for some surface water flooding exacerbated by any heavier falls of rain on the dry pan generated from the drought conditions,” it warns, reports The Mirror.
