Another deceptively beautiful day is ahead for most of Ireland, but not without a few twists lurking behind the sunshine. As we edge deeper into May, temperatures are climbing, but so is the unpredictability.

Morning Conditions and Temperature Overview

From early morning, much of the country will enjoy dry and bright conditions. Long spells of sunshine are expected nationwide, offering what feels like a slice of summer. However, don’t get too comfortable—patchy cloud will roll in across the day, particularly over the western and southwestern regions.

Afternoon Outlook

Though the day will start off like a dream, cloud cover is forecast to thicken slightly throughout the afternoon. Light showers may break out over the west and southwest, and although they’ll be scattered, some areas might catch a light surprise. These are not washouts but may disrupt outdoor plans briefly. Winds will be light, mainly southerly or variable, keeping coastal areas cooler.

Evening and Nightfall

Most of Ireland will enjoy a dry and clear evening. However, in parts of the west and southwest, light cloud and a few residual showers could linger. The southeast will cool down quickly under clear skies, dipping to around 2°C in some spots—so have a jacket handy. Patchy fog is expected to form overnight in low-lying areas and valleys, especially where winds fall calm.

Night Forecast Snapshot

• Dry and calm: Most of the country
• Patchy rain risk: West and southwest
• Fog risk: High in the midlands and southeast
• Lowest temperatures: 2°C to 9°C
• Winds: Light, southerly or variable

Final Word

Friday offers warmth and sunshine with a side of deception. Don’t ignore that westward glance—clouds and drizzle could intrude on your serenity. And while daytime highs flirt with summer vibes, the evening still bites in the shade. Stay alert and dress for contrast.
