Weather Warnings and Impacts in Ireland
Although no severe weather warnings have been issued by Met Éireann at the time of writing, the combination of wet conditions and gusty southeast winds could lead to tricky driving conditions, particularly on exposed routes in southern and eastern areas. Motorists are advised to reduce speeds and maintain safe distances due to the potential for surface water and reduced visibility.
Looking Ahead: The Week’s Forecast
The unsettled conditions show no signs of abating as we move into the week. Monday is expected to bring more rain, particularly in western parts, with brighter intervals in the east. Temperatures will remain mild for this time of year, peaking at around 12 degrees in the south but struggling to exceed 9 degrees in the north.
Tuesday and Wednesday are set to continue the pattern of showers interspersed with sunny spells, with a risk of hail and isolated thunderstorms during heavier downpours. Winds are forecast to remain predominantly southwesterly, keeping the air feeling brisk and damp.
Advice for the Days Ahead
- Driving: Beware of surface water and slippery conditions due to ongoing rain and drizzle.
- Outdoor Plans: Carry a raincoat and umbrella as showery outbreaks are likely throughout the day.
- Commuters: Allow extra time for journeys, especially on coastal routes prone to gusty winds.
