Galway weekend weather as Met Eireann update forecast after orange warning
There is going to be a big turn around
Met Eireann has updated their forecast after an orange warning was issued for one county last night alongside several other yellow alerts.
The National Forecaster had given Dublin a status orange rainfall warning last night, which expired at 2am, as well as a yellow for Kildare, Cork, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford which expired this morning.
Things are looking up on the weather front besides with Friday morning starting off clear as sunny spells improve in the afternoon with temperatures reaching a “warm and humid” 23C.
The night will become wet as heavy rain and possible thunderstorms could bring localised flooding around the west as the dial drops to around 15C.
Here’s how the rest of the weekend’s weather is looking:
Tomorrow: “Saturday morning will start cloudy and wet with widespread rain, heavy at times. The rain will gradually clear eastwards from most areas through the morning and early afternoon, with isolated showers and some brighter spells following, but the cloud and rain will linger in parts of the east for much of the day. Highest temperatures of 15 to 20 degrees with light to moderate north to northwest winds.”
Saturday night: “Early Saturday night will be mostly dry, with clear spells and just isolated showers. Overnight, cloud will increase and more frequent showers will develop in the south and west, turning heavy at times. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 15 degrees with light to moderate south to southeast or variable winds.”
Sunday: “A cloudy and wet start to the day as rain spreads northeastwards across the country, turning heavy and possibly thundery at times. The rain will gradually clear northeast through the day and will be followed by sunny spells and scattered showers. Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees with moderate to fresh winds, variable in direction.”
Sunday night: “Becoming breezy on with a mix of clear spells and scattered showers, merging to longer spells of rain at times. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with moderate to fresh westerly winds.”
