A mostly dry and warm February is in store as Met Eireann has issued a great forecast for the month.
High pressure is set to dominate with warm temperatures and dry conditions for most of the month, according to Met Eireann's long-range forecast. However, there will be a brief period of low pressure with more unsettled conditions but not for long.
From Friday, high pressure will bring a light southwesterly or variable airflow over the country. This means Ireland will enjoy dry conditions with precipitation amounts expected to be below average, especially along southern coasts.

Mean temperatures will stay above average by around one degree but there is still some uncertainty with regard to sunshine amounts and rainfall totals, which will be minimal for the period.
Week 2 (Friday, 10 February to Thursday, 16 February)
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Some uncertainty in the weather outlook for Week 2 but current indications suggest high pressure will decline towards Europe, introducing more unsettled conditions as low pressure starts to influence from the northwest. Mean air temperatures will still be above normal for this time of year.
"The introduction of low pressure in Week 2 will strengthen a southwesterly airflow allowing fronts to move over the country from the Atlantic. Precipitation amounts are expected to be above average for Week 2. Forecast confidence remains low regarding the transition to low pressure.
Week 3 (Friday 17, February to Thursday, 23 February)
"High pressure looks set to build again from the southeast in Week 3, slackening the airflow across the country once again, although indications are that rain may still affect parts of the north and northwest, with above average precipitation expected there.
"Again mean air temperatures are trending to be warmer than average. Forecast confidence remains low in terms of how far the high pressure will extend north.
Week 4 (Friday 24 February to Thursday 02 March)
"There is a weak signal for high pressure to build over Ireland for Week 4, indicating another generally settled and dry week with air temperatures above normal and precipitation amounts expected to be below average. Forecast confidence is low this far out in the forecast."
