Enjoy The Sun Today —Heavy Rain Is Forecast For The Rest Of The Week

We’ve been a bit spoiled on the weather front in recent weeks so it seems only fitting that we’re about to get dumped with feckloads of rain.

Met Éireann are forecasting heavy rain for the rest of the week. To be fair, today doesn’t look too bad with scattered showers being the worst of it but it’s from tomorrow on where things get a bit grim.

Here’s what the experts are predicting for the rest of the week:

Monday

“Some sunny breaks at first in parts of the north and east but mostly cloudy today. Scattered outbreaks of rain mainly in the west and southwest will become persistent there during the morning, but staying mostly dry elsewhere. The rain will gradually spread northeastwards during the afternoon, with some heavy outbreaks and wet in most places through the evening. Top temperatures of just 14 to 16 degrees Celsius in light variable or southeast to east breezes which will increase moderate in places later.”

Tuesday 

“Remaining heavy rain in eastern areas will clear away Tuesday morning and it will brighten up. Some sunny spells developing, but there will be heavy showers as well which will become widespread by afternoon with a risk of isolated thunderstorms. Highest temperatures of 16 to 21 degrees Celsius in light winds.”

Wednesday

“Some bright or sunny spells, but heavy showers at times also with a slight risk of isolated thunderstorms. Some more prolonged heavy rain is likely in eastern areas in the afternoon or evening and in many places overnight. Maximum temperatures of 15 to 19 Celsius, in mostly light breezes, but moderate or fresh breezes on some coasts, between northeast and northwest in direction.”
