Warm weather likely to cool this week (sorry)

The weather is expected to gradually become cooler and more unsettled through the rest of the week.

IT’S THE NEWS we’ve all been dreading: the good weather will probably come to an end this week.

Although dry sunny spells will continue in many areas, scattered showers are predicted in the northern half of the country this morning and in Munster, Connacht and the midlands later in the day, and a few may be thundery, Met Éireann says.

Highest temperatures for today are expected to range between 21 to 26 degrees, with temperatures hitting 15 to 17 degrees tonight.

Showers are also predicted in the west and south on Tuesday morning and afternoon, with some turning heavy and thundery. Highest temperatures of 19 to 24 degrees are expected.

Overall, temperatures are likely  to become gradually cooler and more unsettled throughout the week.

During the end of the week and over next weekend, widespread showers and light to moderate winds will be experienced in all areas. Daytime temperatures will range from high teens to low twenties, with nighttime temperatures between 13 to 15 degrees.

    I suppose the CIA will blame the Russians and use it to attack the Trump administration.

    @Tommy: Wikileaks didn’t get this info by themselves. So as such it was supplied to them. And it is well known that Assange and Wikileaks have a cosy relationship with the FSB.

    So basically if you’ve a seven year old IPhone and if the CIA get their hands in it they might be able to feck about with it… Considering the new IPhone was rooted about a month after it was released I’d be more worried if the most powerful security agency on earth couldn’t do what wikileaks are saying they can do…

    if the shit is going down wouldn’t you hope the special forces. CIA. GCHQ or the garda.lol can track a mobile phone and hack it to use camera and mic. it’s a mobile device it is NOT secure so don’t believe it to be and get all offended that the government in an attempt to keep us safe might hack a phone.
