Ireland weather: 'Thunderstorm risk' before 'major change' as temperatures set to shoot up

More info Weather forecasters have shared a stormy outlook for Ireland - before much warmer weather sweeps in late next week. For the last week or so, numerous forecasts have shown a change is on the way, with much warmer weather pushing up from the south. However, before that Spanish heat plume hits, there's a greater risk of thunderstorms which will also bring heat and humidity with it. The Snow Dreamer on Twitter added that these strong thunderstorms should arrive late next week around Thursday or Friday before much more settled weather moves in from the weekend onwards - so it may feel a bit like Autumn now, but the hot summer weather is just around the corner. The Snow Dreamer tweeted: "There's much greater thunderstorm risk next week. Heat and humidity involved and shortwave trough destabilising flow. The likelihood of UK storms appears high the specific areas less so." "Perhaps even some strong thunderstorms about Thurs-Fri… and then settled and very warm weather looks to shortly reassume next weekend. A very summery outlook, it might seem a bit autumnal now but major changes are coming." Today in Dublin, it will start cloudy and dull with a few isolated showers, before clearing up this afternoon with some sunny spells. Temperatures will get up to 16C. Tonight will be cloudy once more with some mist developing, and lowest temperatures of 6C. And here is what Met Eireann are saying for the next few days: Monday: Cloud will push over the country becoming quite overcast by early morning. Outbreaks of rain will develop from the afternoon as westerly breezes freshen a little. Highest temperatures of 14 to 16 degrees. Monday night: Rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain across the northern half of the country with occasional drizzle elsewhere. The best of the dry weather in the south and southeast. Perhaps a little milder overnight with lowest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees with a southwesterly breeze. Tuesday: Another cloudy and more unsettled day with rain and overcast conditions for the afternoon and evening with the most persistent spells along our western counties. Southwesterly breezes will continue with highest temperatures of 16 to 19 degrees. Tuesday night: Cloudy with rain continuing but it will become patchy as the night goes on with some dry spells developing especially in the east. Southwesterly breezes will fall light overnight with lowest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees. Some areas of mist and fog will form particularly in Munster and south Leinster. Wednesday: Cloudy with showers developing through late morning and into the afternoon. They may be heavy at times in the north with a developing southerly breeze. Feeling milder too with highest temperatures of 19 to 22 degrees. Further outlook: Low pressure looks to dominate the weather with showers and rather cloudy conditions overall. Milder air will be moving up from the south so temperatures are likely to reach the low 20's but this could also increase the chance of heavy showers particularly for more northern areas.

Dublin weather: 'Scorching' heatwave coming with temperatures soaring after 'unsettled' week
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Ireland could be set for a scorching heatwave with temperatures predicted to soar into the 20s, according to weather models. The end of April could see record-breaking temperatures in parts of northwest Europe, potentially reaching as high as 30C. Weather photographer Sryan Buen has highlighted that the GEM weather model is the first to forecast these surging temperatures. Sryan said: "Model watching has been dead for a while. GEM first "interesting" one for a hot minute with it showing 30C in East Anglia on the final day of April 2025 along with widespread high 20s in SE England. Would break records. "Wasn't even a total outlier either although on the upper range of the suite. Not to be taken as gospel. I've said for a long time April's potential for high temps has not been reached at all. It tends to peak mid-month with a cooling in the second half for physical reasons." The Weather Outlook has also confirmed that temperatures could reach as high as 30C across the Irish Sea in parts of the UK. The Weather Outlook stated: "The Canadian Global Model today has shown 30C being reached on Wednesday 30th April, which is nine days away." This weather model shows temperatures at "]around 1,500 metres above sea level" and is usually a "good indication of the air mass." Daniel, also known as The Snow Dreamer, has suggested that this heat plume will bring a "taste of summer" with temperatures exceeding the mid-20s. Daniel posted on Twitter : "Watching the potential for a plume scenario near end of April across the UK and Western Europe. This could bring a taste of summer with temperatures over the mid-20s. There's greater confidence on it being settled." However, before this heatwave arrives, Dubliners will have to prepare for some unsettled weather. A band of rain is expected to move in this morning after a sunny start. Heavy downpours are predicted for this afternoon along with fresh breezes, and temperatures reaching highs of 14C. Tonight is set to be mostly cloudy with some showers, patches of mist and fog developing, and lowest temperatures of 6C. And here is what Met Eireann's forecast says for the rest of the week: Overview: Mixed weather overall with rain and showers at times but also dry and sunny intervals. Wednesday: Any mist and fog patches will clear tomorrow morning leaving a mix of cloud and sunny spells and with a few showers developing. Better sunny spells will develop later in the day. Highest temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees in light to moderate northerly or variable breezes. Wednesday night: Dry with mostly clear skies though it will turn cloudier in the southwest. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 8 degrees in light easterly or variable breezes with some mist and fog patches developing. Thursday: Mist and fog will clear through the morning. Plenty of dry weather for most with sunny spells and just a few light showers. However, it will be cloudier in the west and southwest with outbreaks of rain and drizzle developing through the morning and afternoon, turning more persistent in the evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 or 17 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly breezes. Thursday night: Dry in the north and east at first with some clear spells but turning cloudier as rain in the west and southwest slowly extends further eastwards. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees in a mostly moderate southeast wind. Friday: A wet morning with widespread rain. Through the afternoon and evening, the rain will clear from the west to sunny spells and scattered showers, some of which could be heavy or thundery. Highest temperatures of 11 to 16 degrees, coolest in the north and east, with a moderate southeasterly wind, easing southwesterly as the rain clears. Becoming largely dry with clear spells early in the night though some mist and fog will develop. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees. Saturday: Sunny spells and scattered showers or longer spells of rain expected. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 or 17 degrees in light to moderate southwesterly winds, fresher for Atlantic coasts. Further outlook: Current indications suggest further showers or spells of rain for Sunday and early next week before high pressure becomes more dominant for midweek.
