There's uncertainty on weather models for this coming week but a risk of some very heavy rain on Tuesday with "nasty thunderstorms possible" says forecaster Alan O'Reilly.
He added: "High pressure comes close to Ireland after that but seems to get pushed away quickly.
"Total seven day rainfall forecast for many parts of Europe looks serious, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some serious thunderstorms reports from parts of Europe next week."
