That was a nice summer we had once.
After a couple of weeks of fairly pleasant (and at times rather good) weather, it looks like things will take a turn for the worse this Saturday and Sunday. Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather has stated that while the next 48 hours will have some good sunny spells, ‘Saturday might hold mainly dry until late evening but Saturday night and Sunday are looking wet at present.’
A cloudy damp start in the morning in the East but improving in the West. Thursday and Friday look fairly good but cooler, Saturday might hold mainly dry until late evening but Saturday night and Sunday are looking wet at present. pic.twitter.com/NM7N9zgxPC
