Following last week’s sweltering heatwave which saw temperatures reach 31C, Met Éireann has said cooler and wetter conditions can be expected over the coming days.
According to the national forecaster, conditions will be mixed for the week ahead with rain or showers at times, although there will be “some decent dry periods also,” with highest temperatures ranging from the high teens to the low twenties, reports The Mirror.
While many people will welcome the return of rain after last week’s scorching heat, the dry and sunny conditions will not be too long returning, with a band of high pressure set to usher in another spell of summer weather at the end of the week.
Met Éireann has pinpointed the areas set to enjoy the best of the sunny weather next weekend, with the national forecaster revealing that 10 counties will reach 25C heat on Sunday 5 July, reports The Mirror.
Issuing their latest forecast, a Met Éireann spokesperson said: “Through Friday and next weekend, it looks like high pressure will become established to the south of Ireland. The best of the drier, sunnier weather will be in the south and east of the country. It will be cloudier to the west and north with some rain, drizzle or showers at times. It will become warmer over the weekend with temperatures rising to the mid-twenties in Munster and south Leinster on Sunday,” reports The Mirror.
