Ireland weather: Wet and 'unseasonably windy' start to July with temperatures set to dip
July is off to a wet and gloomy start, with showers and rain set for the days ahead and into the weekend
Ireland is in for a miserable and wet start to July, with showers set to rain down throughout the coming days and into the weekend - as temperatures dip below normal for the month.
Met Éireann confirmed the next few days would be a mixed bag of changeable weather with spells of grey skies full of drizzly showers, interspersed with drier and brighter periods as July gets underway. This week will be windy at times too, particularly later on Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures generally below normal for early July, especially in the northwest.
Although Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather suggested there is still a “good bit of uncertainty around next weekend”, Met Éireann’s current indications for the weekend predict that it will “continue showery and rather cool for the time of year”.
