After 2 months of what can only be described as pure misery on the weather front changes are afoot.
As early as Monday things should be noticeably warmer and by the middle of next week we could be nudging heatwave territory with temps over 20C quite widely.
Yes indeed folks, let's forget about Spring this year and straight to Summer

Yes big changes evolving on the models with a large area of high pressure developing to the Northeast and gentle East or Southeast winds becoming established. And because the flow is more of the continental type clear skies would be likely too. It's still evolving so a couple of days yet before anything to be really upbeat about. However low pressure might never be too far from the southwest Kerry and Cork regions. A rebel low!

When even darkman is commenting on upcoming warm weather then you know things are really set to improve

Absolutely brilliant news! Just in time for the Leaving Cert.

Other years I would have felt sorry for LC and JC students if the weather was good. This year I JUST WANT WARM SUNNY WEATHER. I told my dh that I reckoned it would cheer them up to see the sun even if they are doing exams

looks warm alright for a few days as long as you dont live in Kerry Cork Clare Galway Mayo and maybe Sligo and Donegal. The rest of ye get out yer sunglasses as 20c will feel very pleasant after this muck.

Should come as quite a shock to the system this change in airmass.
Afterall it's been jackets weather all month, and now within a few days t-shirt weather and beach temps look the norm.
With the Euro's on the way good grief we can almost think positive
Next thing we'll know Greece will have won the lotto!

excellent, it really is going to feel warmer especially here in the East where we have had daytime temperatures in the 6-12C range for past 6 weeks.

I called this a few weeks ago fyi. Patterns were emerging long ago

ECMWF has a lot of cloud about for most of next week, as always the west coast getting most of it. Starts to clear towards the end of the week but never too far away so its far from a done deal that we'll see some good sunny weather. Temps should be around 20C though so a big improvement either way

[John mac]

as long as Dublinia gets good weather thats all that matters.. (for the headlines in the papers anyway)

I dont mind as long a the temps rise a little and its mostly dry over here in the west.

[Birdnuts]

Its lookin good allright - nice to be able to shed some of the rain-gear, woolies etc. which have been getting too much of a run out in recent summers!!

Boo

So I better enjoy the weather we have now while it lasts.

Now 3 months of hell with the occasional BBQ

Tuesday-Saturday looks awesome. Low to Mid twenties for much of the midlands area, high teens and possibly low twenties for coastal regions. In terms of cloud cover it looks minimal through midweek. However from the weekend onwards there MIGHT be a breakdown. Current charts show the high being stubborn and leaving a low system hanging to our west, which will bring in showers and mid-high teens for at least the next 3-4 days. After that we might see a return to brighter weather.

Charts will evolve over the next 7 days, will be vital to see how it progesses as it will have a direct impact on the June bank holiday
