Embrace Ireland’s Weather: A Saturday of Surprises on 29 March 2025
According to Met Éireann, prepare for a day of deceptive beginnings and damp endings as Ireland’s weather takes you on a tumultuous journey this Saturday.
Morning Outlook
Early risers in the east may catch fleeting glimpses of bright or sunny spells. However, don’t be fooled by this brief reprieve. Clouds will swiftly invade, bringing outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, especially in the southwest and west during the morning hours. Mist, along with hill and coastal fog, will further obscure visibility, casting a gloomy veil over the landscape.
Afternoon Conditions
As the day progresses, the persistent rain and drizzle will become lighter and more patchy as it spreads eastward. A glimmer of hope emerges as drier and brighter conditions develop in the northwest by early afternoon, gradually extending southeastwards through the remainder of the day. Despite this, the overall atmosphere remains cool and damp.
Temperature & Winds
Temperatures will range from 11 to 15 degrees, offering little comfort against the dampness. Moderate to fresh south to southwest winds will develop, adding a brisk edge to the air. Marine interests should note that a Status Yellow Small Craft Warning is in effect, with south to southwest winds reaching force 6 or higher on all Irish coasts.
