TRENDS … After a dry day today, expect frequent rainfall and occasional strong winds for about a week. Some signs of improving weather conditions mid-month.

FORECASTS

TODAY will bring some sunny intervals with a general increase in cloud cover later in the day. Highs 16 to 20 C.

TONIGHT variable cloud, staying dry in most areas, some rain developing in the southwest, lows 11 to 14 C.

SATURDAY cloudy and rather breezy with occasional rain, heavier and more persistent in western counties. Highs 16 to 18 C.

SUNDAY outbreaks of heavy rain, winds increasing to southerly 40-70 km/hr, veering westerly on Atlantic coasts by evening. Lows 11 to 14 C and highs 15 to 18 C. Very windy at times on Sunday night along the west coast, peaking over Connacht around midnight at southwest 70-110 km/hr.

MONDAY very windy at times, squally showers and isolated thunderstorms, then variable cloud and moderate southwest winds by afternoon, further showers. Lows near 12 C and highs near 16 C.

TUESDAY rain may be heavy at times across the south, and will be persistent in most areas, lows near 11 C and highs near 15 C.

WEDNESDAY variable cloud, showers, lows near 10 C and highs near 17 C.

It will remain quite unsettled into the following weekend; there are some signs of an improving trend in the following week (after Sunday 14th), with somewhat warmer temperatures and longer dry intervals.

My local weather stayed very warm but a rather thick layer of smoke haze kept temperatures down a bit so the high was closer to 30 C. It is oppressively smoky outside now (late evening).

My local weather on Saturday was hazy with the smoke back to a more oppressive level, highs around 27 C. The Atlantic hurricane season remains rather quiet, a system being watched in the tropical region west of Africa has lost potential to develop and currently no potential storms are being shown on most guidance. There is a cat-4 hurricane (Kiko) southeast of Hawaii but this is expected to weaken before it gets closer to the islands.
