Drier and warmer than average conditions for next 10 days
The coming week and the start of the following week will be predominantly dry, with temperatures reaching the low 20s°C, except in exposed coastal areas of the east and southeast.
Many parts of Ireland are set to stay completely dry over the next 10 days, with any rainfall mostly occurring between today and Tuesday afternoon.
Showery conditions will persist across Leinster and Ulster from Sunday evening into Monday morning, followed by isolated showers on Monday that will clear by evening.
On Tuesday, scattered—possibly thundery—showers may develop over Munster but will fade by afternoon. The rest of the week and the early days of the following week will stay dry.
Winds will remain light and easterly throughout the forecast period.
Confidence is growing among major weather models that high pressure will weaken by the middle of the following week, allowing Atlantic systems to move in from the west.
The outlook for the final 7–10 days of May is more unsettled, with spells of rain, strengthening winds, and occasional thundery outbreaks.
