After a turbulent weekend marked by storms, Ireland is set to enjoy a period of pleasant weather with sunshine and mild temperatures.
Temperatures plummeted to as low as -4C in some regions during the early hours of this morning, while other areas enjoyed milder temperatures reaching 5C. Co Limerick experienced the most frigid overnight conditions, with a recorded low of -4C. Conversely, coastal regions largely avoided the freeze. This follows a period of unsettled weather, particularly last weekend when the combined impact of Storm Eowyn and Storm Herminia caused widespread disruption across the country.
As Thursday dawns, expect a predominantly bright and dry morning with sunny spells interspersed throughout. Isolated showers are anticipated mainly in the northern and western parts of Ireland. As the day progresses, cloud cover will increase in the west during the afternoon, bringing outbreaks of rain or drizzle to Atlantic coastal counties by evening. Temperatures are projected to range between 5C and 8C today and drop to 0C and 5C overnight before the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend.Looking ahead to the weekend, conditions will be significantly milder compared to the stormy weekend just past. Friday promises a dry day with periods of sunshine that may occasionally become hazy. Temperatures are expected to peak between 7 and 10 degrees Celsius in light and variable winds, shifting to a southerly direction later in the day. Saturday will be characterized by breezy and somewhat overcast conditions, with light rain or drizzle primarily affecting the western and southern regions. Heavier, more persistent rainfall is anticipated to move into the west and southwest by the evening. Temperatures will range from 8 to 12 degrees Celsius in a moderate to fresh southerly wind. Sunday will begin with wet conditions in the east, but the rain will quickly move eastwards, leaving the rest of the day dry and bright. However, some cloud and drizzle may persist near the southeast coast. Temperatures are expected to reach 8 to 10 degrees Celsius with light west to southwest winds
