It’s a real mixed bag.

Met Éireann has given us a rundown of what to expect weather-wise in Cork for the days ahead and (spoiler alert) you’ll be needing an umbrella and sunglasses.

So, grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into the forecast to make sure you’re all set for whatever the skies have in mind.

First off, today we can expect a mix today of sunny spells and isolated showers:

“The showers will begin to clear during the afternoon but it will remain somewhat cloudy. Feeling a little cooler too with a northwesterly breeze and highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees.” said a forecaster.

Important to note however; the UV Warning Level is still moderate so pop a hat on small kids and slap on some sunscreen.

#UV Index today will be moderate for both clear☀️ and cloudy☁️ skies.

Please take care and stay #SunSmart😎🧴

Showers will gradually clear away leaving a mostly dry but cloudy evening. Some clear spells will develop overnight with temperatures falling to 8 to 11 degrees in a northerly breeze.

Saturday will be generally cloudy with isolated showers to begin but clear and dryer spells will develop later in the afternoon. A fresh northerly breeze will persist with highest temperatures of 16 to 18 degrees.

As for Sunday, forecasters predict “a rather wet and blustery start as a band of rain moves across the country during the morning with some heavy falls at times.

“The rain will gradually clear away to the east followed by scattered showers. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees in fresh and blustery westerly winds.”

The good news is we’re not seeing a huge drop in temperature just yet as we hurtle towards autumn. While Monday will be cloudy, highest temperatures will remain between 18 to 21 degrees.

Tuesday will be warm too, although there is rain and blustery winds in store for early in the morning before a clearance to more dry and settled weather later on.
