Ireland weather: Met Eireann's glorious June forecast with warm spell before 'unstable' change

Summer has kicked off with lovely weather as Ireland is enjoying the wonderful sunshine and warm temperatures.

The mercury will be higher than average in most areas over the next couple of weeks, according to Met Eireann's long-range forecast. However, a big change is on the way as unsettled conditions will hit the country, particularly towards the end of the month.

Week three of June will bring low pressure leading to more than average rainfall while the temperatures will remain at higher than normal levels. Overall, Met Eireann said the seasonal models for Ireland for June, July, and August show above-average temperatures with near-average rainfall with June being the wettest month.

The mean temperatures are forecast to be between 0.5 and 1.0 degrees above average countrywide. Here is the full forecast for June from Met Eireann:

Week 1 (Friday 02 June to Thursday 08 June)

"High pressure centred to the northwest of Ireland will feed in an easterly airflow over the country. This will bring in dry conditions with just a chance of some precipitation towards the end of the period.

"Confidence is high that it will be warmer than normal in most areas too, especially in western parts with some coastal fringes of the east seeing closer to average values. The upper air remains stable too.

Week 2 (Friday 09 June to Thursday 15 June)

"While high pressure is still likely to the north of Ireland, it is declining a bit as low pressure in southern Europe edges northwards. It still looks like there will be an easterly airflow for some of the period which will bring in slightly above average temperatures to the east and a few degrees warmer overall compared to normal in the west.

"It will also remain drier than normal with growth increasingly restricted.

Week 3 (Friday 16 June to Thursday 22 June)

A change to more unsettled conditions looks likely at this stage as low pressure has more of an influence and the upper air becomes more unstable. In fact, it looks probably that it will average out slightly wetter than normal. Overall it looks like temperatures will be marginally above normal in most areas, especially in the southwest of the country.

Week 4 (Friday 23 June to Thursday 29 June)

"Confidence is low at this stage. There is a weak signal that it will be slightly wetter than average and still slightly warmer than usual for late June. Pressure is likely to be low in the near Atlantic which will bring in some showers at times."
