Rain in the East

Clear in the Northwesr

Rain continues for the East for a time as we head into May with the West basking in some warm bright sunshine. Temperatures could reach 17 or 18c but in the East and Northeast it will only be 11 or 12c at best. The cool pattern spreads to all parts of Ireland later with some Wintry showers this time in the North. Temperatures at the end of the period will have dropped back considerably to values of around 8 or 9c. Snow is very possible on the hilltops but this is still one to keep an eye on.

Rain Coming for Munster, Leinster

Heavy Rain this Week

Flooding for the East and South in the coming days as the cool and unsettled weather continues to make it a rather unpleasant if somewhat sunny April in Ireland but you know what I mean.

Tuesday to Friday will see high rainfall of up to 50mm in the East and South. More showery in the West and North. Maybe 10 to 20mm here. So far in Sligo there has been 70mm of rain in April, slightly above normal for the time of year.

Further into the period it looks like showers will become more scattered for Ireland.

There might even be some dry weather as we head into the start of May but it will be cloudy.

Very Cold and Showery

Very cold showery weather for the next 10 days with hail and thunderstorms by day and grass frosts by night. Temperatures will be 5c below average for the month of April. Around the middle of the month things may begin to quiten down with milder and somewhat drier weather for Ireland.
