Met Eireann cancel warning as new 'weather pattern' for week forecast for Ireland
The big weather change will be coming in from the Atlantic
Met Eireann has cancelled its fog weather warning for several counties including Galway which was due to be in place until 11am on Monday morning as a new ‘weather pattern’ is forecast for the week ahead.
The National Forecaster says that “high pressure will shift eastwards over the end of the week and into the weekend” allowing “low pressure from the Atlantic to influence our weather pattern”.
This means that there will be “more rain and drizzle moving in” from Thursday onwards and into Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
There will be a dull start to this week though as mist and fog still continues to linger despite the warning being lifted on Monday.
Sunny spells will develop for many counties as the day goes on with temperatures of 13C dropping to around 4C overnight with rain and drizzle worst at coastal regions.
Here’s Met Eireann’s updated weather forecast for the week:
Tomorrow: “Dull and damp to start for many tomorrow with rain and drizzle across the southern half of the country. Ulster will remain mostly dry for the day. The rain will gradually turn more showery through the evening, with the heaviest or more persistent falls across southern coastal fringes. Feeling cooler with highest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees, milder to the southwest where temperatures will reach up to 13 degrees. Moderate east to northeast wind.”
Wednesday: “Mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle lingering over southern counties. Brighter to the north and northwest with occasional sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees in mostly moderate north to northeast winds.
Thursday: “Mostly dry with a mix of cloud and sunny spells. Staying cooler with highest temperatures of just 7 to 9 degrees in a light north to northeast breeze.”
Friday: “Cool and dry with sunny spells, hazy at times. Cloudier along northern coastal fringes. Cloud will increase over the southwest through the evening. Highest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees in light variable breezes.”
