Met Éireann warn of hail and thunderstorms on way before major change in weather
Forecasters have said it will be a ‘cool and windy’ Monday
Forecasters are warning of hail and thunderstorms on the way as cold winds sweep across the country before the weather changes shifts later in the week.
It will be ‘cool and windy’ on Monday with a warning that some ‘showers will be heavy with the chance of hail and an isolated thunderstorm in the north and northwest’, according to Met Éireann.
Highest temperatures today will range between 7C to 10C, but will feel colder in fresh to strong and gusty northwest winds.
Tuesday will be breezy with long dry spells as scattered showers track southeastwards across the country through the day but it will still be a bright day with widespread sunny spells.
On Wednesday ‘most places will be dry to start apart from isolated showers. However, patchy light rain and drizzle will spread from the northwest through the afternoon and evening’. Thursday will be ‘another rather cloudy but mainly dry day with well scattered light showers.’
While Friday will start cloudy with some scattered showers sunny spells will develop, especially over the southern half of the country.
