Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny intervals this morning, increasing cloud with showers and possibly a few thunderstorms developing, most frequent in south central then later inland southwestern counties, but possible anywhere. Rainfalls of 3 to 10 mm are likely. Warm except near east coast with highs 17 to 23 C, closer to 15 C on Irish Sea coasts.
TONIGHT ... Showers ending, fog patches and misty, quite warm, lows 10 to 14 C.
FRIDAY ... A mixture of cloud and sunshine, warm, just a few isolated showers redeveloping, not expected to be as widespread as today. Highs 18 to 24 C central and western counties, near 15 C on east coast and parts of south coast.
SATURDAY ... Sunny with increasing cloud, warm, isolated showers or thunderstorms by evening in at least the southeast. Lows 12 to 15 C and highs 19 to 24 C, except 15 to 17 C east and south coasts.
SUNDAY ... Variable cloud, occasional showers, warm. Lows 11 to 15 C, highs 19 to 23 C.
MONDAY to WEDNESDAY will continue similar with a mixture of cloud and sunshine, warm temperatures and a risk of showers each day but not a lot of rain overall.
My local weather on Wednesday was sunny and hot with very weak thunderstorms trying to form by evening, one succeeded in producing a few brief gusts to 50 km/hr and a few raindrops. The high earlier was 31 C. Records were set in some parts of B.C. and Alberta.
The Florida weekend tropical storm risk has now increased again and shifted back to the west coast, with guidance now showing potential for a moderately strong tropical storm with peak winds of 80 km/hr. It makes landfall on the Florida panhandle Monday (which is Memorial Day in the U.S.) and meanders around the region while weakening.0 -

Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny intervals with cloud over some western counties breaking to partly cloudy skies, warm. A slight risk of a shower or isolated and brief thundershower mainly in the inland south. Highs 18 to 22 C, although closer to 15 C near east and south coasts.
TONIGHT ... Partly cloudy, a few showers in south, warm and humid. Lows 11 to 14 C.
SATURDAY ... Cloudy with sunny intervals, some outbreaks of thundery rain possible in the south, generally dry central and northern counties. Warm and humid again, highs 17 to 22 C.
SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, isolated showers or thundershowers, warm. Humid. Lows 12 to 15 C and highs 19 to 24 C.
MONDAY and TUESDAY ... Sunny intervals, very warm and humid. Lows 12 to 15 C and highs 20 to 25 C. Just a slight risk of showers.
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY is currently the expected time for this warm spell to end. Now it appears more likely that the cooler air will work its way around a weak disturbance and push in from the southwest. More frequent rain and a falling temperature trend will bring back more normal temperatures in the high teens.
My local weather continues very warm with isolated showers, the high Thursday was near 28 C. There is not much change in the tropical storm outlook for Florida, and a prolonged period of heavy rainfalls is likely in parts of the southeast U.S.0 -
Saturday, 26 May, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Some hazy sunshine, more frequent in western counties, then becoming cloudy with showers and a few thunderstorms in parts of the southeast, also a risk of isolated showers elsewhere but less widespread, quite warm and muggy with highs 17 to 22 C.
TONIGHT ... Some persistent and heavy showers possible across the south, variable cloud further north with less widespread showers in a few places, quite muggy and warm with lows 13 to 16 C.
SUNDAY ... Further heavy showers or thunderstorms in the south, 10 to 30 mm rainfalls possible. Variable cloud, some sunny intervals developing elsewhere, warm and humid. Highs 18 to 23 C.
MONDAY ... More sunshine than on the weekend and fewer if any showers, morning lows 8 to 12 C and highs 17 to 22 C. Less humid and some cool sea breezes likely on most coasts.
TUESDAY ... Sunny intervals, warm, isolated showers developing again. Lows 8 to 13 C and highs 18 to 23 C.
OUTLOOK ... A greater risk of showers or isolated thunderstorms mid-week, but only a slight cooling trend as any push of cool air will be weak and replaced rather quickly by another influx of warmer air from the east to southeast. This spell does not appear likely to break down entirely for at least another week although the occasional fresher day may qualify as a short break.
My local weather continued very warm and mostly sunny with a high near 29 C, a heavy storm rolled by to our north at sunset but all we got from that was a few rolls of thunder and a small shower of rain. Subtropical storm Alberto has formed west of Cuba and will likely transition to a regular tropical storm (no cool air in the circulation at that point). It is still expected to be a strong tropical storm and possibly a weak cat-1 hurricane at some point late in the long weekend with a landfall near Mobile Bay by Monday night.0 -
Sunday, 27 May, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Thundery showers in parts of the southwest this morning and isolated showers elsewhere, some sunny intervals, warm and humid. These showers will tend to break up with perhaps a new round of showers or storms later. Highs 18 to 23 C.
TONIGHT ... Hazy, warm and humid. Lows 12 to 15 C. Risk of isolated showers or storms.
MONDAY ... Sunny intervals, very warm. Isolated showers or thunderstorms. Cooler near east coast due to sea breezes. Highs generally about 20 to 24 C (16 to 18 C east coast).
TUESDAY ... Sunny with cloudy intervals, very warm, isolated showers. Highs 20 to 25 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Variable cloud, scattered showers and risk of a thunderstorm. Highs 18 to 23 C.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Little change in the warm and humid, slight unsettled pattern, cooler air not making much of a push until perhaps a week from this Tuesday.
My local weather was mostly sunny with highs near 25 C on Saturday. Tropical storm Alberto is making slow but steady progress towards the Florida-Alabama border region with widespread rain in the southeastern U.S., which may continue for several days even after Alberto makes landfall and weakens.0 -
Monday, 28 May, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny and very warm, in fact hot might better describe conditions away from the cooler east coast, with highs likely to reach about 24 or 25 C. The east coast will be closer to 18 C thanks to cooling sea breezes, and a temperature gradient from the coast to central Leinster will see highs into the low 20s in places like Kildare and inland Meath. There is a slight chance of a brief shower developing around Carlow or south Kilkenny and drifting west into south Tipperary or north Waterford.
TONIGHT ... Clear and hazy with very muggy and warm conditions, a good view of the full moon. Lows 12 to 16 C.
TUESDAY ... Almost a repeat performance of today, except for a greater risk of showers and thunderstorms developing around Cork and spreading to Limerick, Clare and north Kerry. One of two of those could become locally heavy. Otherwise, all of the same details as Monday with very warm highs of 24 to 26 C away from a somewhat cooler east coast.
WEDNESDAY ... Little change with a mixture of sunshine and cloudy intervals, scattered showers mainly in the south and west, lows of about 15 C and highs 22 to 25 C.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... This warm spell seems to be very entrenched on the guidance I could access (some problems with the latest GFS guidance) and it is difficult to say when the warm spell will actually break down. Perhaps as per the summer forecast, this is just the start of a prolonged warm trend although I would have to imagine it won't just stay like this to September without any breaks.
My local weather on Sunday was sunny and the high generally was 28 to 30 C although we were getting slight cooling from our relatively small local lake. We are expecting our warm spell to break down for a few days starting Monday night. Meanwhile, Alberto is approaching the Florida panhandle to make a Monday landfall between Pensacola and Panama City. It is not the most vigorous tropical system but unusual for May. A more impactful weather event occurred with flash flooding near Baltimore, Maryland from a stalled frontal system that brought repeating thunderstorm cells and 200-300 mm of rain in western suburbs around Ellicott City, MD. The main street of the town had two metres of muddy water rushing through it as a result and plenty of chaos ensued.0 -

Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny and very warm (hot for some parts of the west and central counties), slight cooling near east coast from sea breezes, but highs for most in the range of 21 to 25 C. Isolated showers and risk of a thunderstorm in west Munster, especially over higher parts of west Cork, north Kerry, border areas of Limerick.
TONIGHT ... Mostly clear and warm with lows only falling to 12 to 16 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Hazy sunshine, a little more high cloud around but otherwise very similar to today, highs 21 to 25 C, with another outbreak of showers or thunderstorms possible in parts of west Munster. Overnight, clear and warm for most, some thunderstorms could arrive in north Leinster from Wales during the early morning hours of Thursday.
THURSDAY ... Partly cloudy and warm, isolated thunderstorms possible, highs 21 to 25 C.
OUTLOOK ... Very little change from day to day well into next week but a trend towards somewhat more cloud and slightly more widespread shower activity at times, while already rather humid, it may become very humid at times by the weekend and early next week. Highs will generally stay in the low to mid 20s.
My local weather has hit the last day of a prolonged warm spell and dry spell, with a cold front not far away now, but Monday's high was once again close to 30 C. We are expecting heavy showers to develop later today and highs much closer to normal (20 C). Meanwhile, the remnants of Alberto moved into Alabama bringing locally heavy rains and gusty winds. That remnant low will drift north into the lower Great Lakes within the next two or three days bringing drought relief to some places along its path.0 -
Wednesday, 30 May, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Mostly sunny and very warm, isolated thunderstorms may develop later in Munster (locally heavy). Highs 21 to 25 C.
TONIGHT ... Hazy and warm, lows 12 to 16 C.
THURSDAY to SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, humid, scattered showers and thunderstorms more widespread in south and west, highs 21 to 25 C. Overnight lows 13 to 17 C. Friday may have more widespread thunderstorms than the other days in the period.
SUNDAY and NEXT WEEK ... Sunny and warm, at this point it looks as though most of this period will be dry with less widespread afternoon shower or thunderstorm activity but one or two days in the period may bring increased risks when we get closer to the actual time, highs will remain in the low to mid 20s.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Eventually according to current guidance this prolonged warm spell will break down with more frequent showers and heavy rainfalls could develop by the second week of June. Taking a wait and see approach to any breakdown scenario after we've seen two or three come and go already.
My local weather on Tuesday was overcast with occasional showers, nothing very heavy yet, but temperatures have dropped considerably to about 23 C with a further drop expected today.0 -
UPDATE _ Wed 30 May 2018 _ 4 p.m.
________________________________
There is still a risk of showers or thunderstorms later in parts of Munster but an additional threat now for south Leinster as an area of showers and thunderstorms over north Wales may cross the Irish Sea this evening to arrive in Wicklow and Wexford around 8 p.m. -- will continue to monitor for intensity. That activity could then spread further west and may also extend as far north as Dublin and Kildare although lower confidence in that presently.0 -
Just a brief second update, the activity in the southeast has not been very heavy and seems largely confined to Wexford. A second pulse that might be more active will move west on a trajectory that appears to be headed for Meath, Louth and south Ulster (later west Ulster and north Connacht) around midnight or so, and this could involve some thunder or briefly heavy downpours. Once again Dublin is on the edge of this second batch and may miss that one, although north Dublin could be grazed by it.0

Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Showers with risk of a thunderstorm this morning in some parts of northwest, otherwise hazy sunshine and continued warm and humid, by afternoon scattered outbreaks of thunderstorms in south and east, spreading further west by evening. Highs 21 to 24 C except closer to 18 C near some coasts.
TONIGHT ... Showers dying out, warm and humid, lows 12 to 16 C.
FRIDAY ... Mostly cloudy, more widespread showers and thunderstorms developing, some heavy with risk of flooding. Highs 20 to 23 C.
SATURDAY ... Variable cloud, further showers and thunderstorms, not as widespread as Friday, lows 12 to 16 C and highs 20 to 23 C.
SUNDAY ... Hazy sunshine at times, isolated thunderstorms, highs near 23 C.
OUTLOOK ... Most of next week will continue rather warm with some sunshine each day, isolated showers or thunderstorms but many locations will remain dry. Highs in the low to mid 20s. This warm spell seems likely to fade back to more normal temperatures and heavier rainfalls by second week of June.
My local weather on Wednesday was partly cloudy with morning showers and thunderstorms in the area, dry by afternoon and evening, and cooler with highs near 21 C.0 -

Friday, 1 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
The warm spell seems likely to persist all through next week with a slow return to more normal conditions around a week from now, and today seems the most likely to produce locally heavy showers or thunderstorms with a less active trend through the weekend and a slight uptick in shower activity around Monday but dry for several days possibly after that.
TODAY ... Warm and humid with increasing cloud and scattered showers, isolated heavy thunderstorms developing by afternoon and evening. The greatest risk of heavy rainfall or intense thunderstorm activity will be in west Munster and Connacht but not entirely limited to those regions. Highs 21 to 25 C.
TONIGHT ... Showers ending, fog or mist becoming widespread, muggy and warm with lows 13 to 17 C.
SATURDAY ... Gradual clearing during the morning, sunny and warm by afternoon, isolated thunderstorms. Highs 21 to 25 C.
SUNDAY ... Hazy sunshine, warm, isolated thunderstorms possible. Lows 12 to 16 C and highs 20 to 24 C.
MONDAY ... Partly cloudy, warm, humid with scattered thunderstorms, lows 13 to 17 C and highs 19 to 23 C.
TUESDAY to FRIDAY ... Sunny with some cloudy intervals and isolated showers possible but generally dry for most, highs will continue to reach the mid 20s in west and central counties, 18 to 23 C east.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... There are signs of a return to a more normal weather pattern by about the 7th or 8th of June with a weak Atlantic influence returning and temperatures falling back closer to average values which would imply highs around 19 or 20 C.
My local weather on Thursday was overcast, rather cool with highs only about 15 C, and with rain slowly approaching from the southeast, and it began to rain around supper time with about 5-10 mm so far. This is the outer edges of a heavy rainfall (snow at higher elevations) event over the Rockies and most of Alberta, with 40 mm expected in some places. We could use a bit of rain but with snow pack left to melt, a heavy rain would lead to stream flooding problems and likely this will be the case in valleys east of here.0 -
Saturday, 2 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Rather cloudy at first, some sunny intervals developing, warm except near some coasts due to sea breezes, outbreaks of thundery rain likely by afternoon in Ulster, parts of Connacht and west Munster. Some locally heavy rainfalls possible there. Highs 21 to 24 C.
TONIGHT ... Showers dying out in west and north, becoming foggy or misty, lows 12 to 16 C.
SUNDAY ... Hazy sunshine developing, only a few isolated showers or thunderstorms, warm with highs 20 to 23 C.
MONDAY ... Partly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms once again rather widespread by afternoon, lows 12 to 16 C and highs 20 to 23 C.
TUESDAY to FRIDAY ... Partly to mostly sunny and warm, showers becoming very infrequent and isolated. Highs 21 to 25 C.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... It will gradually become somewhat cooler with a fresher south to southwest wind flow and occasional outbreaks of rain although not a very abrupt change from this week's warm, muggy conditions. And there are signs of a renewed warm spell within a week of this slight breakdown, with another high building up near Ireland.
My local weather on Friday began with light rain then cleared partially to passing showers and sunny spells, with rather gusty winds from the south at times, but rather cool with highs only around 16 C.0 -
Sunday, 3 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Cloudy with sunny intervals developing, a few heavy showers or thunderstorms mainly in northern counties, warm. Highs 19 to 23 C.
TONIGHT ... Hazy, muggy and warm with lows 12 to 16 C.
MONDAY ... Partly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms rather widespread in west, isolated east. Highs 19 to 23 C.
TUESDAY to THURSDAY ... Sunny intervals, less frequent showers and most places dry. Warm with highs 20 to 25 C.
OUTLOOK ... Now there is considerable variation in the scenario past Thursday with some guidance breaking down the warm spell to a more normal pattern but other guidance favouring a continuation with possibly even warmer temperatures developing.
My local weather on Saturday started overcast and gradually improved to partly cloudy with clearing skies by sunset, and highs around 19 C.0 -
Monday, 4 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Hazy sunshine, very warm in western counties, warm but locally cooler due to sea breezes near east and south coasts, highs 20 to 25 C, showers and thunderstorms developing late in the day inland west and northwest.
TONIGHT ... Clearing, hazy and muggy, lows 12 to 16 C.
TUESDAY to FRIDAY ... Little change in the pattern, with similar weather each day, hazy sunshine, very warm especially in western counties, and isolated showers or thunderstorms in west and north but many places generally dry. Highs each day 20 to 26 C and lows 11 to 16 C.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Slight cooling is likely by next weekend, on the order of 1 to 2 degrees each day, but even so, it will remain rather warm despite a shift in wind directions first to northerly and then to more variable but westerly. This will tend to spread the heat around more into eastern counties than before, but will introduce cooler sea breezes in western counties. Otherwise it will probably not seem like a major change in the weather with highs still into the low 20s.
My local weather on Sunday was cloudy with some sunny breaks and a few showers by late afternoon, with highs near 20 C.0 -
Tuesday, 5 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny intervals and warm again today. Some cloud will build up over southeast with a slight risk of showers. A more significant risk will develop for showers and isolated thunderstorms in the inland western counties by late afternoon. Highs 20 to 25 C.
TONIGHT ... Hazy and warm with lows 11 to 16 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Sunny and warm, some cloudy intervals and isolated thunderstorms by late in the day, highs 21 to 26 C.
THURSDAY ... Partly cloudy, warm, lows 12 to 16 C and highs 21 to 26 C.
FRIDAY ... Increasing cloud, warm, lows 12 to 16 C and highs 20 to 25 C.
SATURDAY ... Mostly cloudy, risk of heavy showers or thunderstorms in southeast spreading to south-central and southwest counties by late in the day. Highs 20 to 24 C, warmer inland north.
SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, isolated showers, highs 19 to 23 C.
OUTLOOK ... Gradually returning to more normal temperatures during the following week although possibly staying a little warmer than average for time of year, highs 18 to 22 C.
My local weather on Monday was partly to mostly cloudy and cool with brisk westerly winds and passing showers, highs only about 15 C.0 -
Wednesday, 6 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny and warm, some cloudy intervals and isolated thunderstorms by late in the day, mostly in inland western counties, highs 21 to 26 C.
TONIGHT ... Hazy and warm, some local fog patches, lows 12 to 16 C.
THURSDAY ... Partly cloudy, warm, lows 12 to 16 C and highs 21 to 26 C. Isolated showers or thunderstorms in west.
FRIDAY ... Increasing cloud, warm, lows 12 to 16 C and highs 20 to 25 C. Isolated showers or thunderstorms.
SATURDAY ... Mostly cloudy, risk of heavy showers or thunderstorms in south spreading to southwest and later to northwest counties. Highs 20 to 24 C, warmest inland north.
SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, isolated showers, highs 19 to 23 C. The main change will be that cooling sea breezes will be more likely on all coasts by then, and not only near east or south coasts.
OUTLOOK ... Gradually returning to more normal temperatures during the following week although possibly staying a little warmer than average for time of year, highs 18 to 22 C. Rainfall also somewhat closer to normal values throughout rather than isolated showers.
My local weather on Tuesday was partly cloudy and a little warmer with highs near 21 C.0 -
Thursday, 7 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Rather cloudy in south with a few showers in west Munster, trending to mostly sunny further north, then cloudy again closer to north coast with chance of isolated thunderstorms. By afternoon, some isolated storms possible all over inland west but only small coverage likely, so most places remaining dry and quite warm with highs 22 to 25 C west, 16 to 19 C south and east, 18 to 21 C north.
TONIGHT ... Partial clearing, fog patches, warm, lows 10 to 15 C.
FRIDAY ... Partly cloudy, scattered showers and thunderstorms developing in west, some heavy in north Connacht and west Munster. Highs similar to today, near 25 C inland, 18 to 21 C near coasts.
SATURDAY ... Partly cloudy, warm, some outbreaks of thundery showers in south spreading to west by afternoon. Quite humid, lows 11 to 16 C and highs 20 to 24 C.
SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, isolated showers, warm. Lows 11 to 16 C and highs 20 to 24 C.
MONDAY ... Sunny intervals, isolated showers, fresher although still rather warm at 18 to 22 C.
TUESDAY ... Sunny, highs 18 to 23 C.
OUTLOOK ... A change in the weather pattern is likely to arrive mid-week with westerly winds returning after a long absence, and some frontal bands of rain, with temperatures considerably cooler for a few days, perhaps only 15 to 19 C according to some guidance (although this warm spell is somewhat zombie-like in that it has refused to die on several other occasions). This cooler interval could last almost a week before any slight return to warmer temperatures but the pattern looks like it could go into a late June warm spell or even heat wave rather easily.
My local weather warmed up considerably on Wednesday thanks to sunshine and southerly winds, highs reaching 27 C.0 -
Friday, 8 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Partly cloudy, warm and humid, with the risk of widespread heavy showers and thunderstorms in Connacht, Munster and midlands as well as south central Ulster. Highs 20 to 24 C. Somewhat cooler near east coast and outer south coast due to sea breezes, some chance of sea fog on outer headlands. Peak of the heavy shower activity will likely be 3 to 6 p.m. with the risk of localized 20-40 mm downpours and spot flooding.
TONIGHT ... Showers and thunderstorms dying out by midnight, then partly cloudy, close and humid with lows 11 to 16 C.
SATURDAY ... A similar cycle of events to today, although there may be a slight shift to the south and east in terms of where the heavier showers and thunderstorms develop, but still generally in the zone of south/east Ulster through the midlands to central Munster. Highs also similar, about 20 to 24 C, with local sea breezes bringing slightly cooler temperatures in some coastal margins. The outer portions of the west coast could also see some cooling breezes and sea fog.
SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, warm, showers more isolated but still fairly heavy where they do develop, most likely inland south. Lows 11 to 16 C and highs 19 to 23 C.
MONDAY ... Partly cloudy, not quite as humid, but still rather warm, as breezes turn more northerly. This will redistribute the sea breezes more to the north and west coasts. Highs near 23 C.
TUESDAY ... Sunny with cloudy intervals, just the slight risk of isolated showers, highs near 23 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Increasing cloud, becoming windy from the southwest (for the first time in many weeks) ahead of a rain-bearing cold front that will arrive by evening or overnight. Highs near 20 C.
OUTLOOK ... There is still likely to be a somewhat cooler and more unsettled theme beyond mid-week, with highs closer to normal, then perhaps a slight recovery to warmer temperatures. Longer term guidance now shows a cool northerly in about two weeks but I would not bet the ranch on that scenario as we saw this appearing for the recent time frame about three weeks ago (and the actual cool northerly was over in Finland and Russia).
My local weather on Thursday was very warm with increasing high cloud, and some showers are lurking with a cold front just a few miles to the west but it has stalled out for the time being. We might also be in line for heavy storms here on Friday and Saturday.0 -
Saturday, 9 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Sunny intervals this morning, warm, then scattered showers and thunderstorms, similar in coverage to yesterday if perhaps a bit further east and south. One or two of these may become heavy with locally intense thunder and torrential downpours leading to localized flooding. Highs 19 to 24 C.
TONIGHT ... Showers ending, fog or mist, very humid and warm with lows 11 to 16 C.
SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, warm, showers more isolated but still fairly heavy where they do develop, most likely inland south. Lows 11 to 16 C and highs 19 to 23 C.
MONDAY ... Partly cloudy, not quite as humid, but still rather warm, as breezes turn more northerly. This will redistribute the sea breezes more to the north and west coasts. Highs near 23 C.
TUESDAY ... Sunny with cloudy intervals, just the slight risk of isolated showers, highs near 23 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Increasing cloud, becoming windy from the southwest (for the first time in many weeks) ahead of a rain-bearing cold front that will arrive by evening or overnight. Highs near 20 C.
THURSDAY ... Partly cloudy, breezy, highs near 18 C.
FRIDAY 15th to SUNDAY 17th ... Cloudy with a few sunny intervals, some rain at times, highs 17 to 19 C.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... There are already some signs of another warmer interval developing in the week of 18th to 22nd, but nothing too conclusive yet. At this point I would estimate highs in the low 20s with slight chance of mid 20s.
My local weather on Friday became quite warm again (27 C) and breezy at times, after some overnight thunderstorms that left behind about 10 mm of rain. We are expecting some heavier showers on Saturday morning and a cooler trend.0 -
Sunday, 10 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Rather cloudy at first but becoming partly sunny, hazy and warm, isolated showers or thunderstorms developing in Munster and south Leinster by afternoon, highs 20 to 24 C.
TONIGHT ... Clear intervals, lows 9 to 13 C.
MONDAY ... A mixture of cloud and sunshine, moderate northerly winds keeping it rather cool near some coasts but warm again inland with highs 19 to 23 C.
TUESDAY ... Sunny intervals, warm. Lows 8 to 12 C and highs 19 to 23 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Increasing cloud, lows 6 to 10 C and highs 17 to 21 C. Rain at times by evening and overnight, 5-15 mm expected.
THURSDAY ... Showers ending, breezy, somewhat cooler with highs 16 to 19 C.
OUTLOOK ... Rather cloudy and unsettled with temperatures closer to mid-June normal values (highs 16 to 20 C).
My local weather on Saturday turned quite wet after some fog and drizzle in the morning, a steady downpour and temperatures no better than 12 or 13 C, so it felt quite cold after weeks of very warm weather here. The cause is a slow-moving low pressure area to our east bringing severe thunderstorms to Alberta and Montana ... it will become cold enough in our region for snow to fall at highway pass elevations around 1200 metres but at my elevation perhaps 8 C with occasional showers and possibly some hail. The next week or two also look quite cool compared to recent warmth, that has moved on into central parts of the continent now. Still, the good side to this will be a reduced fire risk as it had been quite dry until this weekend.0 -

Monday, 11 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... A mixture of cloud and sunshine, with sunny spells most likely near south coast this morning, perhaps more widespread by afternoon, and with moderate northerly winds keeping it rather cool near some coasts but relatively warm again inland with highs 18 to 21 C. Many places dry but isolated showers most likely in Connacht and west Ulster.
TONIGHT ... Cloudy with some clear intervals, lows 8 to 12 C.
TUESDAY ... Partly cloudy with sunny intervals, highs 18 to 22 C. Some coasts will be a little cooler due to sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY ... Increasing cloud, lows 6 to 10 C and highs 17 to 21 C. Rain at times by mid-day west, afternoon or evening and overnight for eastern counties, 5-15 mm expected in most places. Winds gusting to 70 km/hr, the first really windy day in quite some time.
THURSDAY ... Showers ending, breezy with westerly winds 50 to 80 km/hr in the morning, easing by afternoon, and somewhat cooler with lows near 9 C and highs 16 to 19 C.
FRIDAY ... Increasing cloud, showers, highs near 17 C.
FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Somewhat unsettled although only normal amounts of rainfall expected, along with near normal temperatures of about 17 to 19 C.
My local weather on Sunday was unseasonably chilly and we could see snow falling on hilltops at 1300 metres above sea level during the afternoon although the rain had ended by then in valleys, but our high for the day was only about 11 C.0 -
Tuesday, 12 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland
TODAY ... Cloudy in many areas this morning but some early sunshine for coastal Leinster and parts of the south and west too. The cloud may be fairly stubborn as winds remain quite light but eventually longer bright spells will become more widespread. Highs 17 to 21 C.
TONIGHT ... Some clear intervals, increasing cloud after midnight in west, lows 8 to 12 C.
WEDNESDAY ... Breezy and rather warm with mostly cloudy skies, winds increasing later in the day to south-southwest 50 to 80 km/hr. Rain across the north and west from late morning, not reaching other regions until evening. Highs 17 to 22 C.
THURSDAY ... Very windy during the early morning hours and quite gusty until mid-day, then gradually less windy in the afternoon. Rain ending around sunrise after 15-20 mm falls, but skies partly to mostly cloudy, clearing later. Cooler daytime temperatures, lows near 11 C and highs near 17 C.
FRIDAY ... Increasing cloud, rather cool, showers or intervals of light rain (5-10 mm), lows near 7 C and highs near 16 C.
OUTLOOK ... Rather unsettled with near normal temperatures for a few days, but then turning warmer again by Monday 18th, cooler mid-week followed by a longer warm spell towards the end of the month.
My local weather remained unseasonably cold on Monday, with passing showers that were wintry just a little higher in elevation, fresh falls of snow could be seen on local hills. The high at valley elevations was about 14 C in sunny spells but the temperature fell off several degrees each time a shower passed in gusty westerly winds.0 -
Wednesday, 13 June, 2018
Forecasts for Ireland

My local weather was sunny with a few afternoon cloudy intervals and hot with highs near 30 C. This heat will persist most of the week in all parts of western Canada and the northwest U.S., but recently it has been unusually cool in the desert regions to our south as a "cut off low" trapped some cooler air down there, highs only 15 to 20 C in parts of Nevada and even in the low desert regions of Arizona a few degrees below normal (30-35 C instead of low 40s). Hot weather has also spread into parts of the eastern U.S.0 -
