Ireland’s stint of summer weather looks likely to continue into next week as a high-pressure system dominates over Europe.
To put a dampener on hopes of a lengthy bout of sunshine, Met Eireann has confirmed a point where the high pressure will begin to decline.
According to the monthly forecast, “For Week 3 (Monday 25 July to Sunday 31 July), indications are that the high pressure over Europe will decline, with low pressure to the north of Ireland feeding in a more unsettled Atlantic regime.
“Temperatures will likely be around normal but indications are that precipitation amounts will be above average.”
As for the short term, Saturday morning will be mostly cloudy with patchy drizzle and mist in the northwest but will brighten up for the afternoon and evening, with spells of warm sunshine developing.
Highest temperatures will range from 16 to 23 degrees and will be coolest in Ulster and warmest in the midlands with light north to northwest breezes.
On Saturday night, it will be largely dry and mild with clear spells and perhaps a little mist or drizzle in places.
Sunday will be warm and largely dry with good sunny spells developing after some early morning mist or drizzle.
Highest temperatures will range from 20 to 25 degrees, warmest in the midlands, with light variable breezes.
Heading into next week, Monday will bring warm and dry weather with good spells of sunshine.
Highest temperatures will reach 21 in some places and 26 or 27 degrees in others with mostly light southerly breezes.
Tuesday will be a cloudier day with rain and drizzle developing in the west and north and spreading southeastwards, becoming very light and patchy as it does so.
It won't be quite as warm with highest temperatures of 21 degrees and will be warmest in Leinster and light south to southwest breezes.
The Irish forecasters ‘further outlook’ states that “Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be mainly dry with bright or sunny spells. Light winds and temperatures reaching the high teens to low twenties.”
