Rain is making a comeback across Ireland today, particularly in the southern regions where up to 10mm of rainfall is expected. However, there’s good news on the horizon as the weekend forecast takes a turn for the better.
Initial predictions hinted at a wet weekend ahead, but recent updates bring a more positive outlook. According to meteorologist Alan O’Reilly, the weekend is shaping up to be “pretty good,” with just a few scattered showers expected and a cool northerly breeze in the air.
For Thursday, scattered showers will start the day in the north, with cloudy conditions and rain spreading across the country by afternoon. However, the north can expect drier and sunnier spells later on. Temperatures will range from 8 to 12 degrees Celsius.
Friday will bring some brightness amid scattered showers, with temperatures similar to Thursday. As the night falls, showers will taper off, giving way to clear skies and frosty conditions.
Saturday will remain cool with a mix of sun and scattered showers, while Sunday could see more widespread rainfall moving in from the Atlantic, though the south may remain mostly dry.
Looking ahead, the early days of next week promise unsettled weather with more rain or showers expected, accompanied by slightly milder temperatures.
Overall, while rain returns for now, the weekend ahead offers hope for clearer skies and milder conditions, bringing a silver lining to the forecast.
