Ireland weather forecast: Met Eireann predict rain to continue for the next few days

Keep the umbrella out as the rain is set to continue for the next few days at least.

Ireland is set to feel more like autumn than July with temperatures to stay slightly lower.

Showers will be more isolated on Monday with some dry spells expected in breezy weather.

It comes after strong winds battered the country on Sunday when a status yellow warning was in place for 17 counties.

A Met Eireann forecaster said: “Isolated showers will continue in Ulster and near some Atlantic coasts tomorrow, but mainly dry elsewhere with sunny spells in mostly moderate northwest breezes.

“Highs of 15 to 18 degrees generally but a degree or two cooler in the north and northwest.”

Monday night will mainly be dry with clear spells at first and just a few light showers near western and northwestern coasts.

A forecaster added: “Cloud will thicken from the Atlantic later in the night with outbreaks of rain pushing into Atlantic coastal counties towards morning.

“Lows of 9 to 11 degrees, in light westerly breezes.”

Tuesday will be wet but thankfully, it will become clearer by the evening with the mercury staying in the mid teens.

The weather chiefs said: “Generally cloudy on Tuesday with outbreaks of rain becoming widespread by the afternoon.

“However it does look like the rain will become patchier by the evening, with parts of north Ulster becoming dry.

“Highest temperatures 13 to 17 degrees in mainly light southerly breezes.”

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it will clear up a great deal by mid-week, with showery weather still expected.

The temperature will reach as high of 18c in parts but it will be light and breezy with rain continuing in the south of the country.

A forecaster said: “Current indications are for a lot of dry weather over Ulster, Connacht and north Leinster with sunny spells. Cloudier further south with outbreaks of rain. Highs of 16 to 18 degrees generally, in light variable breezes.

“Rain continuing in southern counties overnight but dry elsewhere with clear spells.

“Lows of 7 to 11 degrees in light breezes.

“There is significant uncertainty in the further outlook at this stage, but the overall pattern appears to maintain a changeable Atlantic regime.”
