Ireland is set for another week of warm weather, though it begins with rain tonight and tomorrow before improving later in the week, according to Met Éireann’s latest forecast.
Today will bring a divided weather pattern across the country, with the western half enjoying spells of sunshine while eastern areas experience cloudier conditions accompanied by scattered patches of rain and drizzle. Temperatures will reach between 15 to 19 degrees Celsius.
Tonight will remain mild with temperatures staying above 8 to 11 degrees, though some showers are expected that may turn heavy in places.
Tomorrow promises to be particularly warm with temperatures climbing to between 18 and 23 degrees—warmest in western areas. The day will feature a mix of sunny spells and showers, with some potentially heavy or thundery downpours developing by afternoon and evening, particularly in southern regions. Northern parts of the country are expected to remain largely dry.
Wednesday will begin with sunshine before showers develop in western and southwestern areas later in the day. Temperatures will range from 16 to 22 degrees across the country.
The outlook improves significantly for the latter part of the week, with Thursday and Friday forecast to be dry days featuring long spells of sunshine. Temperatures will continue to reach the low 20s on both days.
The pleasant conditions are expected to continue into the weekend, with Met Éireann predicting warm and dry weather to round off the week.
