Ireland weather: Washout week of showers ahead but 'uncertainty' remains for weekend
Current indications suggest a rainy Saturday, but there is still a great deal of uncertainty around the weekend
Met Éireann has forecast a washout week filled with showers and drizzle but one weather expert has suggested there is still “uncertainty” around Saturday at the moment.
The coming days will be quite changeable and unsettled according to the national forecaster, although temperatures will remain warm where sunshine gets through the cloud, with drizzle, rain or showers forecast for almost every day this week.
Friday sets itself apart as a mostly dry day with sunny spells and only scattered cloud, however, Met Éireann has suggested this sunshine will be short-lived, moving off for Saturday when rain develops again.
