Hallelujah.
Living in Ireland means that every year we get a handful of Bank Holiday weekends and a handful of sunny days, and it is all too rare that these two beautiful events ever actually overlap.
Luckily for us, this May Bank Holiday is set to be a scorcher, according to the latest weather forecast from Met Éireann.
Here’s what we can expect from Saturday: “Warm sunny spells will develop – best inland and in the east. Light south or southwest breezes. Highest temperatures 17 to 20 degrees. Fog will linger near some south and Irish sea coasts.”
The good times will keep rolling into Sunday, with Met Éireann predicting: “Dry again tomorrow with varying cloud and sunny spells. Very warm inland and in the east. Highest temperatures 18 to 21 degrees. Cloud and mist will affect Atlantic coasts.”
The weather will be looking a little bit more typically Irish by Monday, but by and large there should still be enough sunshine to leave the house. Met Éireann says “Another fine and warm day in most areas. Other than the odd spot of drizzle near northwest coasts, it’ll be dry with light southwest breezes. Temperatures may get into the low twenties inland. Temperatures in the mid to high teens.”
Even Tuesday doesn’t sound too bad, with Met Éireann reporting: “Cooler and cloudier overall. Many parts of the south and east staying dry, but a little rain will affect the west and north at times. Moderate southwest winds.”
But that hardly matters since we’ll all be back in work by then anyway.
