Met Éireann has revealed when high pressure will "weaken its grip" on Ireland, potentially seeing the return of rain, thunder and floods.
The weather service has released a detailed week by week forecast for the month of June, stating that for week one (June 5-June 11) high pressure will continue to dominate, with "settled conditions" and "well below average rainfall."
"Potential hazards will include the potential for increased drought conditions, and elevated fire risk and the potential for a high temperature warning in the southwest," they said.
For week two (Monday, June 12 to Sunday, June 18), high pressure will "weaken its grip" however there still may be above average temperatures, being drier than average, remaining "mostly settled."
"This will add to the drought risk and the fire potential although the high temperature potential look to be a little lower on average," Met Éireann said.
Week three (June 19 - June 25) will see lower pressure and the potential for rainfall across the country, however temperatures will still be slightly above average.
"There is the potential in this scenario for some thundery falls of rain with the flow predominantly from the southeast with the added potential for some surface water flooding exacerbated by any heavier falls of rain on the dry pan generated from the drought conditions," it warns.
Week four (June 26 - July 2) will see above average temperatures but the potential for showery rainfall. Overall, there is "low potential for thundery showers" and associated surface water flooding "could persist."
