Dublin weather: Dry & sunny forecast on the way for Irish capital as Met Eireann warn of ‘unsettled’ week ahead

DUBLIN is set to see dry and sunny weather hitting the capital as the new week begins.

But forecasters have warned that the good few days won’t be here to stay as an unsettled week emerges.

Met Eireann has said today will start out dry and mostly cloudy, but this is set to clear for some bright and sunny spells to develop.

Highest temperatures today will reach 12C.

Tonight will be much clearer and again will remain dry, with temperatures dropping to 2C to 4C.

Met Eireann has also warned of some ice and frost patches developing overnight.

Tuesday will remain “fairly mild in general”, with some cloud and drizzle developing overnight but remaining dry for the most.

For Wednesday, Met Eireann said: “It’ll be dry and there’ll be good spells of Spring sunshine in Munster and Leinster.

“Some bright or sunny spells may develop further north too as the day progresses.

“Another breezy day with highest temperatures of 10C to 14C in moderate to fresh and gusty south to southwest winds.

When it comes to Wednesday night, weather bosses added: “It will continue mainly dry on Wednesday night with a mix of cloud and some clear spells.

“There may be a little patchy light rain and drizzle in northwestern coastal parts and cloud will start to increase from the south overnight, with perhaps a few showers drifting into southern areas.

“Lowest temperatures of 3C to 8C with the winds generally decreasing mostly moderate southerly, but will be fresh to strong in western and northwestern coastal parts.”

Thursday is to start out with a mix of sunshine and some scattered showers, with cloud clearing to the west through the day.

Highest temperatures will remain between 9C to 12C.

Overnight, it will see a band of rain move over the country, hitting parts of Leinster into Friday morning, with temperatures dropping to 4C to 8C.

Friday then will be “mostly cloudy with rain and drizzle in the east.”

Met Eireann said: “It’ll become drier and possibly brighter in the east and south later, but with some scattered showers following into southern areas.

“Highest temperatures of 10C to 13C in light to moderate east to southeast winds.

“The rain and drizzle will continue to clear to the northwest on Friday night, but the showers will gradually become more widespread from the south, some of them heavy and thundery.”
