Ireland weather: Met Eireann warns no respite in sight for heavy rain and showers in grim forecast
The rain will be unrelenting for the whole week with showers hitting the country alongside strong winds
There is no break to the rain and showers in sight this week as heavy rain and “unseasonably windy” weather blast the country.
According to Met Éireann, this week will be quite unsettled with rain and showers spreading from the Atlantic and limited dry intervals. Temperatures will also be cool for the time of the year, dropping to lows of 13C during the day.
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather also warned that both strong winds and heavy rain would hit the country later in the week.
He wrote: “A risk of some strong winds Wednesday and Thursday and then a low system moving across the country Thursday night into Friday with heavy rain and strong winds on South coast. July you say.”
