Dublin Weather: Met Eireann forecast end to sunny spell as Hurricane Humberto heads for Ireland and UK

Dublin is set to go right into the twenties this weekend - but revellers have been warned as the remnants of a huge storm in the Atlantic could bring us back down to earth.

Hurricane Humberto is heading directly for Ireland - and it's going to bring showers with it.

Humberto is expected to die down by the time it gets here - but sadly for revellers it things will feel a lot more like Autumn.

For now Met Eireann have predicted a glorious few days with temperatures as high as 22 degrees expected.

Today and tomorrow will be warm and dry before the showers start to role in Saturday.

They said: "Today will be dry, warm and sunny. A light southeast breeze will develop as the day goes on. Highest afternoon temperatures will be between 19 and 21 degrees.

"Tonight will continue dry and clear with temperatures dropping back to 8 to 11 degrees in a light southeast breeze.

"Tomorrow, Friday, will be dry and sunny with temperatures of 19 to 21 degrees and the light southeast wind will become moderate by the end of the day.

Weekend

Saturday could turn out the be the hottest day of the month - but if you were hoping to head to the beach be warned that showers are also expected.

"Saturday will start out dry and sunny but cloud will increase from the south with scattered outbreaks of rain developing as the day goes on, many places will have long dry spells.

"Temperatures remain higher than usual for the time of year and still reaching as high as 22 degrees in longer spells of sunshine.

"Winds will be moderate to fresh southeasterly in direction.

"Temperatures will fall overnight to 14 or 15 degrees and showers will continue.

"There'll be further showers or longer spells of rain on Sunday and it'll be warmest in the north of the country with the rain possibly turning heavier in the south and east.

"Winds will be mostly moderate east to southeast and the showery rain will mostly die out through the evening to give a mainly dry night."

The remnants of the hurricane will hit around Monday - but UK experts say it will have died down by the time it hits Ireland.

Met Eireann say we can expect cool conditions with more persistent rain.

They said: "Monday will see a return to cooler conditions more typical for the time of year. There'll be a more persistent spell of rain introducing unsettled weather for the early days of next week."
