Make the most of the dry conditions this bank holiday weekend because wetter weather is on the way next week.
After dry conditions with a “weekend for walking and great for activities but not necessarily for sunbathing” forecasters predict that next week is set to bring wetter conditions.
“As we go through next week it’s a gradual breakdown into more showery wetter weather”, a Met Eireann forecaster said.
“At the moment it’s a little bit uncertain”, she said. “Originally it was looking like it might be windy but at this stage now we’re looking at wetter conditions.
She said it looked like we were in store for an “easterly flow which is never great for the easterly half of the country”.
“It would be cold and possibly wet at times through Tuesday and Wednesday”.
She set “unsettled” weather was likely with “cool” temperatures that were “below average by day” reaching only 10 or 11 C when May temperatures would usually reach 13-16 C.
Rain is expected to make its way across the country from the southwest on Tuesday with cloudy and wet conditions at night.
