Outlook

OVERVIEW: Showery with a gradual return to normal August temperatures. SUNDAY NIGHT: Warm and humid with temperatures staying above 13 to 17 degrees. Early in the night there will be mostly dry and clear conditions but cloud and showers will move into the west and southwest and will spread northeastwards across much of the country overnight. Some heavy and thundery falls are possible early on. There will be light northerly or variable winds. MONDAY: Showery rain will continue to move northeastwards across the country on Monday morning. This will be followed by scattered showers and occasional sunny breaks from the southwest. The showers are likely to be heavy in Munster and south Leinster, with a chance of thunder, so spot flooding is possible. Highest temperatures will range between 15 degrees in the northwest and 23 degrees in the southeast, so not as warm as the weekend. Light to moderate northerly winds, becoming fresh on Atlantic coasts. MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers, mainly in the east. Lowest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees in a moderate northerly breeze.
