DUBLIN: Ireland is set to enjoy a spell of hot and dry weather, with temperatures expected to approach 30°C next week. This follows a long period of unusually cold weather in Scandinavia.
Before the heatwave, Ireland will experience some heavy rain. Forecasters predict that rain will start in the western regions, including Galway, on Monday evening. There is a possibility of thunderstorms and flash floods due to the moist air moving in from Europe. This weather pattern has been attributed to atmospheric rivers carrying moisture from the warm waters of the tropical North Atlantic.
Despite the upcoming rains, the weather is expected to turn dry and cloudy with occasional sunshine. The weather will remain unpredictable, with heavy rain expected next Wednesday.
Social media weatherman Snow Dreamer highlights that while Ireland will heat up, temperatures in the UK will stay normal, with chances of rain. The forecaster also mentions that this pattern of moist air reaching as far as London has been ongoing for several months, indicating adverse climatic conditions.
In summary, Ireland can look forward to a warm spell next week, but not before dealing with some heavy rain and potential storms.
