Met Éireann weather forecast for this week makes one big prediction after Storm Bert

Met Éireann has delivered a detailed weather forecast for Ireland for the week ahead with Storm Bert weather warning and a weather advisory to end on Monday.

A weather advisory for Storm Bert for the whole country will remain in place until midnight on Monday but Met Éireann has signalled a big change in our weather in the coming days.

The Met Éireann outlook for this week says: "Rather cold and mostly settled though midweek, with some frost and fog. Turning milder and a little more unsettled again later in the week."

They say Monday will bring "a mix of sunshine and scattered showers, some heavy, with the slight chance of hail and a few isolated thunderstorms, the showers most frequent in the north, west and southwest, but isolated further east.

"Moderate to fresh and occasionally gusty southwest to west winds, strong to near gale force and gusty for a time in the north and northwest, will ease through the day as Storm Bert moves away, becoming mainly light to moderate by evening. Highest afternoon temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees.

"Showers will become mostly confined to coastal counties of the west and north [Monday night] and will gradually become more isolated, with long clear spells developing. Frost and some icy patches will develop as temperatures fall to between -2 to +2 degrees in light to moderate southwest or variable breezes. A few isolated mist and fog patches will develop.

"Tuesday will be dry and sunny for most. However, there'll still be some well scattered showers around, with these most likely in coastal parts of the north, west and south. Highest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees in just light variable breezes," their forecast adds.

"There's the likelihood of some showery rain on Tuesday night in the southeast and east, with a little sleet over the mountains, and a few coastal showers in the north, otherwise it'll be dry with frost developing in many areas. Fog or freezing fog is likely to become fairly widespread too, dense in places. Lowest temperatures of -3 to +2 degrees in mostly light variable breezes, becoming moderate north to northeasterly in the east and southeast.

"Areas of mist and fog will be slow to clear through Wednesday and may linger all day in some parts of the midlands. There'll be a little showery rain in the east and southeast in the morning, with a little sleet over the Wicklow mountains, and with a few isolated showers too near the north and northwest coast, otherwise it will be a largely dry day with some spells of sunshine.

"A chilly day with highest temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees, colder where fog lingers, in mostly light northerly or variable breezes.

"Wednesday night will be another dry and cold night with frost and icy patches developing. Mist and fog will thicken early in the night and become fairly widespread for a time, but will start to clear later in the night, as light winds increase moderate easterly and freshen in the southwest towards morning. Lowest temperatures of -3 to +1 degrees.

"The frost, mist and fog will clear on Thursday morning and it'll be dry in most areas with some sunshine, especially further to the north and east. However, it'll become mostly cloudy in the morning the south and west, with some rain and drizzle, mainly in the southwest. Cloud will build elsewhere too through the day and it'll become breezy, and while there'll be some further scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the southwest and south, it'll hold mainly dry elsewhere.

"Highest temperatures of 5 degrees in the north to 12 degrees with southeasterly winds increasing mostly fresh and gusty, stronger in some coastal parts.

"It looks like Thursday night will be cloudy and breezy, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, mainly in the southwest and west, with some heavy bursts possible in the southwest. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 9 degrees in moderate to fresh and gusty southeasterly winds."

Met Éireann adds that "Friday will be another breezy, mostly cloudy day, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the west and southwest, spreading eastwards. There'll be some mist and fog on hills too, especially in the south and southwest. Milder everywhere with highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in moderate to fresh and gusty southeasterly winds, stronger in some coastal parts."

"While there's uncertainty at this lead time for next weekend, it looks like it'll continue rather cloudy, mild and breezy on Saturday with some scattered outbreaks of mostly light rain and drizzle, especially in southern areas, with some mist and hill fog there too, but with good dry spells elsewhere.

"By Sunday, there's a lot of uncertainty, with the possibility of some heavy rain moving in from the west, but there's also the chance that this may stay out in the Atlantic to lead to a mainly dry brighter day," the latest forecast concludes.
