Met Eireann's bold prognosis for August as it issues jaw dropping forecast
Met Eireann has included a daring prediction in its latest extended range forecast for Ireland. Published within the last 24 hours, the state weather service said that as a result of low pressure systems over Scandinavia and near Iceland, Ireland would be placed in a "predominantly westerly airflow". The news of the low pressure systems over Scandinavia allows Met Eireann to boldly predict that the amount of rainfall across Ireland at the end of July and the beginning of August will be below average for the time of year. And the positive prognosis doesn't stop there. Met Eireann also forecasts that temperatures could soar again at the beginning of August and remarkably, Ireland is set to be free of weather warnings at this time also. So, while the next few days might be peppered with showers, there is a chance that we might have another shot at summer in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, there's good news for anyone travelling to Croke Park on Sunday for the All-Ireland SFC final between Donegal and Kerry. According to DublinWeather on X (formerly Twitter) there will be "sunny spells" but fans are also being warned to expect showers and a "breezy westerly wind". While temperatures are set to be between 17°C and 22°C, DublinWeather suggests fans still bring a warm jumper to counter any potential showers. Some rain and showers at times but overall plenty of dry weather. Temperatures generally reaching the high-teens to low-twenties. Sunday night: Mostly dry with long clear spells and just isolated showers, most likely in the north. Later in the night, some fog patches will develop and cloud will begin to build from the west. Lowest temperatures of 9°C to 13°C in a light northwesterly breeze. Monday: Largely dry with sunny spells at first. However, cloud will continue to build from the west bringing patchy rain and drizzle. Limited sunny spells will break through, the best of these will be later in the day. Highest temperatures of 17°C to 21°C in light to moderate westerly breezes. Some clear spells at first but mostly cloudy overnight with outbreaks of rain moving in from the west, most persistent in the north. A mild night with temperatures not falling below 13°C to 16°C in light, occasionally moderate west or southwest breezes. Tuesday: A dull and damp start to the day with scattered outbreaks of rain. Drier intervals will occur through the day as the rain clears to showers with some bright and sunny spells developing. Highest temperatures of 17°C to 22°C, coolest in the northwest, in light to moderate west to northwest winds. Wednesday: Cloudy to start with rain and drizzle but sunny spells and scattered showers will develop through the day. Showers will become more isolated later with a largely dry and bright evening. Highest temperatures of 17°C to 22°C in mostly light northwesterly winds. Thursday: Some uncertainty in the detail but current indications suggest there will be a spell of rain in the morning, clearing eastwards with sunny spells and showers moving in from the west. Highest temperatures of 17°C to 21°C. Met Eireann Extended Range Forecast: Week 1 (Monday July 28 to Sunday August 3) For the end of July and start of August, high pressure is forecast to the southwest with low pressure systems over Scandinavia and near Iceland, placing Ireland in a predominantly westerly airflow. While there will be some rain or showers at times, accumulations are expected to be relatively low, remaining below average for the time of year. Temperatures are forecast to be slightly above normal. Warnings are unlikely. Week 2 (Monday August 4 to Sunday August 10) High pressure in the Atlantic is expected to retain its dominance during Week 2, bringing settled conditions.
