What to Expect Today in Ireland
It’s a dry and calm Monday for most across the island. The early morning chill lingers with temperatures gradually creeping upwards by midday. Sunshine dominates the scene early on, especially across eastern counties and the midlands. However, there’s a sneaky build-up of cloud heading in from the Atlantic, particularly affecting western counties like Galway, Mayo, and Donegal later this afternoon.
Despite that looming change, today stays mostly dry—an ideal window for any outdoor errands or a walk before the cloud thickens and the temperatures dip again this evening. The winds are light and barely noticeable, adding to the overall calmness of the day—before the rain tiptoes in under cover of darkness.
Tonight’s Weather Warning Signs
As Monday evening settles in, cloud cover thickens across Ireland. Expect some patchy light rain or drizzle, especially in Connacht and Ulster. While not a downpour, it’s enough to dampen roads and raise the risk of early morning mist and fog on Tuesday. The southeast will hold out dry a little longer, though even here the skies will turn grey by midnight.
Minimum temperatures will dip to between 4 and 8 degrees. It’s a mild enough night for this time of year but cloud cover will trap some of the warmth. Light winds continue, keeping conditions relatively still—perfect for fog development overnight, particularly in low-lying areas.
Looking Ahead – Tuesday and Beyond
Tuesday will be notably cloudier overall, and while the early mist clears, Ireland won’t see the same brightness that kicked off this week. Patchy rain lingers along western and northern coasts and the east remains cloudy but mostly dry. With the end of March in sight, Ireland seems to be sticking to its unpredictable best: sunshine one day, drizzle the next.
As we head further into the week, temperatures remain mild with no widespread frost expected, though patchy rain and increased cloud coverage are expected to dominate the outlook through midweek. No weather warnings are currently in place, but this could change rapidly, so it’s worth checking Met Éireann daily.
Worth Knowing
March continues to behave like a balancing act—shuffling between calm and chaos. The good news is that no severe weather warnings are active today, but that might not last. Irish spring is notorious for abrupt U-turns. Keep your umbrella within arm’s reach even if the morning sun begs to differ.
