Will Storm Earl hit Ireland? Weather expert shares good prediction after torrential conditions

Ireland will see a return to normality over the coming week, after an almighty downpour on Sunday threatened to wash out the island.

That's according to the latest weather models available to the experts at least.

Sunday saw three different counties face orange weather warnings for rain, while the entire country was under a status yellow warning until 3am on Monday.

While the warnings are still in place, things are set to clear up once they expire on Monday morning.

Weather expert Alan O'Reilly (of CarlowWeather fame on social media) wrote on Sunday: "On an awful wet day it is good to see the weather models show weather settling down after tomorrow. Temperatures dropping back a little but much better weather."

And his view is backed up by the national forecaster as well.

Met Éireann's latest forecast, published this evening, says that Monday morning will be "largely cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Dry and sunny weather will develop over Connacht, Ulster and north Leinster in the afternoon. It will remain cloudier further south with patchy rain lingering, before becoming generally dry in the evening. Highest temperatures of 18 to 21C."

Tuesday continues in a similar vein, with it set to be a "mainly dry day with long spells of sunshine. Fresher than recent days with highest temperatures ranging from 15 to 19 degrees," according to Met Eireann.
