THE FORECAST FOR the next few days looks mostly cloudy and humid with some showers and possible thundery conditions in store across the country.
Met Éireann has said today will stay generally cloudy with showers spreading northeastwards across the country.
There will be good dry and bright periods particularly in the afternoon and an isolated thundery downpour is possible in the north of the country later on.
It will be humid with highest temperatures ranging from 18 to 23 degrees. Tonight will remain mild and humid with a mix of clear spells and showers.
Tomorrow will be humid and breezy, the forecaster said.
Showers and longer spells of rain in the west will spread across the country during the day with some isolated thunderstorms.
But Met Éireann said there will also be long dry and bright spells. Temperatures will reach highs of 17 to 23 degrees.
Next week is expected to be more settled as high pressure moves across the country. There will be a good amount of dry weather with occasional showers in the early days of next week.
There will be cloud and scattered showers on Monday morning and afternoon. Occasional sunny spells are forecast with temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees.
Next Tuesday will be cloudy again with scattered showers. It will be drier in the evening with some late sunny spells and temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees.
Ireland earlier this week recorded its hottest temperature in 135 years, with the Met Éireann measuring site at Phoenix Park topping out at 33°C.
While warm weather at this time of the year is not unusual, and has been recorded in the past, its intensity is in line with warnings from experts that climate change is making extreme weather events worse and more frequent.
A report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) earlier this year made clear that climate change is already causing severe and widespread disruption around the world.

Wellness retreat with Leigh Arnold. The woman has notions about herself!
@The Thinker: Master begrudgery there!!!!
@The Thinker:
Go forbid anyone having notions about themselves, Bless us & Save us from this curse. Is it true @The Tinker that you’ve started a campaign to bring back the potato as the main food in ireland, just like in the good ole days of the 1800’s.
I went to Ibiza for the first time in August of 2018. I stayed in the north too near Benirras and loved it. It is such an open, tolerant and healthy place. Its really just the SW of the island that has the club scene and even on that side there is beautiful coast and quiet places to take in the view of Es Vedra and more. The swimming in crystal clear torquoise water is pure bliss and healing alone. I camped in a pine forest on a cliff and the dark skies those nights were as good as it gets. There is also a ‘growing’ regenerative living culture which started at ‘Casita Verde’ and is now catching on around the island. I’ve always loved islands including our own and would love to some how do a stint on Ibiza. But it can be very expensive for obvious reasons. Being part of a sustainable community involved in permaculture etc would help greatly. I lived abroad for some years and since coming back I have been unable to settle back into life here as I find it frustrating and there is still a mindset that dominates parts of this country that is mindnumbing. Good on you guys for making the move and going for it! May bump into you next time. :)
Great to hear Leigh and her family are doing well. I could really do with a few days at their retreat, sounds like a really beautiful place. No travel for me anytime soon.
Are they really trying to run it in? Can they not do a postcard from Tory island or somewhere we can actually visit this year?
I want to go to Ibiza!
Strange time to be advertising this.
