Met Eireann has issued a fresh ‘heatwave’ update as long-range weather maps show a chance of ‘much warmer’ weather sweltering Ireland.
Weather maps also show a change of high pressure returning during this period, which forecasters say could steer up even hotter air over Ireland. Alongside long-range weather models, he said:”The longer range trends continue to show a chance of warm settled weather returning around the 24th. Long way off yet but the trend is building.”
“Scattered showers will continue across much of the northern half of the country, continuing to turn heavy and thundery with hail and spot flooding possible. The showers will gradually die out late in the night with mist and fog patches developing. Lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with light winds.”“Generally cloudy with showers to begin on Sunday. Some of the showers will turn heavy and possibly thundery during the afternoon and evening with spot flooding a risk.
