cloud is very slow to clear here. Sat is ridiculous with cloud just clinging on to the Dublin area and northwards. Should eventually brighten up

Don't think you easterners would handle living in the west of Ireland for very long so, as we put up with this type of scenario every 2nd day, or indeed, days on end, in a SWly!

After a lovely sunny start in Dublin it's been cloudy and cool and breezy ever since. The sun has just come sporadically out again in the last half hour. The temperature's now 15.2C, probably helped by the recent sun

Lovely warm sunshine in Naas now. Was bitter in Liffey Valley.

Salthill galway 22/05/18what a difference a day makes yesterday it was driving rain now it's wall to wall sunshine long may it last over the next five days it's going to be in the 20's

No it doesn't? And again? It never did in the first place!

Yr.no is showing an almost identical amount and length of rainfall for next Sunday into Monday as we just had for east Galway
Only difference is earlier on Sunday all the way on to Monday afternoon

It’s also on Mets 5 day forecast now

Kind of a so-so period of weather coming up to be honest from a Dublin point of view. No doubt there will be plenty of sunshine; but I'd be worried about the temperatures with a moderate East breeze forecast. I know it's typically just the direct coastal areas that are worst affected but I often remember times where areas further West are still several degrees better off than as far inland as west Dublin - so it'll be interesting to see if we can pull off 20 degrees here in D9. I know many Irish are blown away by the dizzy faux 'warmth' of 17/18 degrees and staring into the sun but just doesn't do it for me. Love heat BUT in fairness clear skies and pleasant temperatures are still 100% preferred to dull and grey.

I'd imagine the likes of Markree or Mt.Dillon will report some of the highest temperatures - though I say they will see more cloud further west along with the higher temperatures so possible a trade off.

Nevertheless; it's wonderful to see so much sunshine on the cards - add in next week also looking nice and some thunderstorm risk heading into Sunday and next week and it's all good.

Read the Met Eireann forecast!

I don't pay any heed to automated forecasts, they're shockingly inaccurate, this being a prime example!

Good weather for the foreseeable future, bar the odd thunderstorm!
