20 degrees in some places.
It’s not too long ago that ‘The Beast from the East’ caused some of us (cough, cough) to start hoarding bread, consuming tea at an incredible rate and binge-watch every single show on Netflix.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and it appears that things have taken a very positive turn on the weather front. Ah, Ireland. The only country where you dress for all four seasons in one day.
Anyways, as stated previously, it appears that the weather over the bank holiday weekend is set to be extremely good, as reported by Met Éireann.
Sadly, today is set to be a bit of a downer but things are expected to pick up as the weekend approaches.
Thursday will be mostly cloudy with and drizzle in the west that will spread eastwards to all areas this morning and will continue for much of the day. Thankfully, these dour conditions are expected to clear through the late afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with moderate to fresh southwest winds.
Friday will start off in a similar fashion because it’s expected to be mostly cloudy and misty. Things will gradually brighten up with some sunny spells developing. However, there’ll be a risk of some patchy light rain or drizzle at times near Connacht and Ulster coasts.
You’ve another reason to love Saturday because it’s set to be a brighter day with sunny spells. There may be a few cloudier periods with the risk of a little drizzle, especially in the northwest in the evening and night. This being said, highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees are expected with light to moderate south to southwest breezes.
Sunday will continue on in this form as it’s set to be mainly dry with sunny spells. However, it will be somewhat cloudier in the northwest with some light rain or drizzle at times. Highest temperatures of 14 to 19 or 20 degrees with mostly light southwest breezes.
Monday will also be mainly dry with sunny spells. Again there may be a few cloudier periods with a risk of a little light rain or drizzle. Highest temperatures of 14 to 20 degrees.
If you haven’t made some plans for the long weekend, now might be a good time to start.
