A very good morning and I hope that wherever you are cross the country that you’re enjoying the start of your weekend. Today will be another warm or very warm day with a mix of sunny spells and cloudy periods.

The best of the sunshine at all times will be along the east coast, the northeast, parts of the Midlands and north of higher ground. Temperatures in some areas may reach up to 26 or 27 degrees Celsius on what will be the last truly warm day for some time.

A change is taking place however and Atlantic coastal fringes of the west and southwest look more overcast today with mist and drizzle. A cold front will develop along western coastal fringes tonight bringing spells of heavy thundery rain for some time.

This rain will transfer across the country throughout the early hours of tomorrow morning and into the early afternoon. Some heavy falls are possible and it’s likely parts of the Connacht, West Ulster and West Munster may experience a Status Yellow Weather Warning.

Tomorrow itself will be a fresher day with fresh westerly winds feeding in a mixtures of sunny spells and scattered showers, some heavy, and indeed that’s the general picture for next week. Each day looks like being showery, with fresh and gusty westerly winds.

It’ll feel noticeably cooler next week with fresh west to northwest winds feeding in much cooler air. Highs will range up to 14-17 degrees for most, some 10 degrees lower than they have been in some areas over the past week or so.

I’ll have further details over the course of the weekend, but for now have a great day.

Kind regards,

Cathal Nolan
