Met Eireann pinpoint best day next week with summer to have one last hurrah

Ireland is set to see one last blast of summer as temperatures climb above 22 degrees.

Met Eireann has pinpointed the best day of next week as Monday will see good sunny spells.

In more good news, the good weather looks like it will be sticking around for the majority of the week.

However, things are looking quite uncertain for the weekend as people heading to Electric Picnic may be in for a miserable change in conditions.

A forecaster said: "Latest ECMWF keeps most of the rainfall to the West but it does look like low pressure will dominate the weather between the 2nd and 7th of September. We could see high pressure return then though. It's unlikely @EPfestival will be dry but hopefully it might escape the heavy rain".

They added: "Latest GFS charts show the low system bringing wind and rain to Ireland next weekend but the worst of stays out West. Huge uncertainty around a weather forecast for @EPfestival and next weekend at present."

Here is a more detailed look at Met Eireann's forecast.

Sunday will be dry in most areas with bright or sunny spells. A few showers may develop in parts of Connacht and Ulster during the day.

In the evening, there's a possibility of a few isolated heavy showers further. Highest temperatures of 17 to 22 degrees with light, occasionally moderate easterly breezes.

Mainly dry overnight with variable cloud though there will be some showers, mainly in the northeast, where they will be heaviest.

Mild and humid with temperatures not falling below 10 to 15 degrees in mainly light easterly breezes.

There will be good sunny spells on Monday and a lot of dry weather expected with just well-scattered showers, though with the continued chance of a few heavy bursts.

Highest temperatures of 18 degrees in parts of the east and northeast to 22 or 23 degrees in the west. Easterly winds will be light to moderate.

Another mostly dry and clear night. Temperatures not falling below 10 to 14 degrees in a light easterly breeze.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be largely dry with sunny spells and just a few showers.

Highest temperatures of 17 to 21 degrees, coolest along eastern coasts due to light to moderate onshore winds.

There is more uncertainty further out, but indications are that it will turn more unsettled with temperatures falling back to the mid to high teens.
