It’s not looking good.
While there will be some dry patches, the weather is going to be fairly unsettled this week with rain and wind taking over the country.
The weather forecaster stated that while Monday morning will be warm and bright, we may experience thunder as the day goes on.
“Many areas dry and bright at first this morning, but all parts will become wet and windy for a time today as rain in the southwest gradually extends northeastwards over the country,” the forecast reads.
“Brighter intervals and showers will follow from the southwest later, but some of those showers will be heavy, with a risk of thunder. Top temperatures 16 to 19 degrees. Fresh to strong and gusty southeast winds will veer southerly and moderate with the clearance.”

The rest of the week will be mixed, but we’re in for a lot of rain.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be generally drier, but the further into the week we get, it will become cooler and windier, with rain becoming more likely.
By Thursday, Met Éireann is predicting “a breezy day with a mix of sunshine and showers. Some of the showers could be heavy with a risk of thunder, most frequent in the west and northwest”.
It is looking equally bleak for Friday: “Showers in the west and north becoming more widespread by the afternoon, some heavy and possibly thundery, especially in Connacht and west Ulster.”
