Extended Outlook
Thursday 12th June begins wet with heavy, thundery rain sweeping across Leinster and Ulster, spot flooding risk continues. Elsewhere, expect scattered thunderstorms in Munster and Connacht, with highs around 16–21°C in a southeasterly breeze. Friday remains unsettled with more heavy showers and thunderstorms. The weekend tidies up slightly, with Sunday offering the best chance for sun—but early June remains damp.
Why This Matters
Tonight’s storms are not your average summer showers—they’re fueled by humid muggy air and unstable conditions highlighted by Met Éireann, including embedded thunderstorms that could mask lightning and hail. Leinster and east Ulster are at highest risk, making flash flooding and power disruption real concerns. Keep phones charged, drive cautiously, and secure outdoor belongings.
Tips for the Readers
Stay weather-savvy: monitor Met Éireann updates via their app. Avoid flooded roads. If out tonight, stay indoors. Check flash flood alerts and have backup plans. Farmers should secure vulnerable stock and check drain systems.
