Irish weather is in a sort of lull this week as rain and cloudy conditions are expected for most regions, ahead of an unsettled weekend according to Met Eireann.
August is fast approaching, and current predictions show two weeks of warmer and drier weather than usually seen before the kids go back to school.
This week, up to July 31, will see relatively high pressure dominating for most of the week bringing drier than average conditions.

Despite this, the predominantly northwest flow temperatures will remain near average for the time of year on average - with rain hitting a number of areas come Friday and into the weekend.
“Overall after this weekend, potential hazards will be low.”
Then, from August 1 to August 7, low pressure is set to dominate things in the North of Ireland “with an elongated upper level high to the south of Ireland.”
Met Eireann says that these “combined will steer in westerly winds” bring “a chance of above average rainfall in west Connacht and west Ulster, but holding a little drier than average in south Munster.”
Temperatures will remain around average for the time of year and potential hazards will generally be low, “although the northwest may have a slightly elevated risk with regards to rainfall.”
From August 8 to 14, the summer sun will return as high pressure builds in over the country.
This weather system will bring drier than average conditions across the country, while temperatures will remain near average for the time of year in most areas - “perhaps a little above average in the southeast.”
Heading into the second last week of the month then from August 15 to 21, the pressure pattern will revert to a more neutral state over Ireland with low pressure over Europe steering northeasterly winds towards us.
It will remain drier than average with little change expected in temperatures as they remain generally close to average or slightly above.
“Overall the potential for hazards will remain low.”
