Met Éireann predicts that today we’ll see high temperatures but ‘little sunshine’

A mixed bag altogether.

The weather has been a bit all over the place this summer and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better. Yesterday saw a few scattered showers here and there, and it’s looking like it’s going to be the exact same today.

Met Éireann said: “Dry in the east and south this morning with a little sunshine. Scattered showers in the west and north will become more widespread during the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 17 to 21 degrees in moderate west to southwest breezes, occasionally increasing fresh and gusty along west and northwest coasts.”

Meanwhile, for tonight we’re going to see things ease up a bit with showers slowly coming to an end and winds becoming calmer.

“Any showers will die out early tonight and winds will become light. Cloud will thicken overnight and rain will spread from the south over much of Munster, Leinster and Connacht. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees.”

We’re not even going to think about tomorrow because it’s looking like it’s going to rain all day, with even a few thundery showers thrown in.

“Friday morning will be wet in most areas. During the afternoon the rain will break up into showers with a few heavy and thundery ones. Becoming warm and humid in many parts with highest temperatures of 18 to 23 degrees in light variable breezes. The northwest will be a bit cooler with 16 or 17 degrees.”
