One massive catch in improved Met Eireann weather forecast for Ireland for Bank Holiday Weekend

There is some improvement in latest Met Eireann weather forecast for Ireland for the Bank Holiday Weekend but there's one big catch in the forecast. Earlier in the week it had been looking bleak for the entire weekend but now it looks like there will be a lot of dry and even bright weather on Saturday and Sunday although temperatures will fall back. 

However according to Met Eireann, there is some impactful weather is on the way for Sunday, Sunday night and into Bank Holiday Monday in parts too, with heavy rain and localised flooding expected in places, as a humid, moisture-laden airmass moves in over the country.

According to Met Eireann, it will become fresher for the rest of next week, with temperatures around average for the time of year, and while there'll be some showers or rain at times, there'll be nothing too impactful, with a good lot of dry weather overall too and some sunshine.

According to Met Eireann, Saturday, will be a bright day with good spells of sunshine and while there'll be a lot of dry weather, there'll be a scattering of showers too, especially for the north and west. Highest temperatures of 16 to 19 or 20 degrees in mostly moderate southwest to west winds, fresher at times in western coastal parts.

Largely dry early on Saturday night with clear spells but cloud will thicken from the west, with some patchy outbreaks of light rain and drizzle spreading eastwards overnight, though it'll likely hold mostly dry in the east and south. Lowest temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees in mostly light to moderate southwest winds, but increasing moderate to fresh along the west coast later.

According to Met Eireann, some bright spells are possible on Sunday in the east and south, though in general it'll be cloudy on Sunday morning, but dry for most apart from a little patchy light rain and drizzle. However, heavy and persistent rain will move in along the west coast by the early afternoon, spreading to most parts through the afternoon and evening, though some southeastern parts may escape largely dry. Localised flooding is possible, especially across parts of Connacht, and possibly west Munster. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees and its going to be a blustery day with mostly fresh and gusty southerly winds, the winds strong and gusty in coastal parts of the west and south.

There'll be further spells of very heavy rain, thundery in places, on Sunday night with the continued chance of spot flooding. A clearance may start to move into parts of the northwest and west later in the night. Humid with lowest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty southerly winds, starting to ease overnight.

According to Met Eireann August Bank Holiday Monday will be mostly cloudy at first, with further spells of heavy possibly thundery rain, especially across the Midlands, east and southeast. While there's some uncertainty as regards how fast the rain will clear, it looks like a clearance to mainly dry, bright weather will have moved into the northwest and west by the early morning and will then extend to most places through the morning and afternoon. However the rain may linger in parts of the east and south for much, if not all of the day. Humid with the rain, but it'll turn fresher in the clearance, with highest temperatures of 18 to 22 degrees in mostly moderate, occasionally fresh, southwest winds, veering westerly.
