Fed up with the grey clouds?

Yeah; us too.

However, Met Éireann is forecasting a sunny start to the week, with this morning’s showers clearing to reveal “drier brighter weather with sunny spells” by early afternoon, with only a few scattered showers later on.

The weekend might be over but if you’re still waiting to give the barbecue an outing, tonight would be a good shout; it will be sunny in many areas this evening, with highest temperatures of 16 to 19 degrees Celsius and mostly dry tonight.

And while the national outlook is ‘changeable and unsettled’, it looks like Cork could fare pretty well tomorrow too, even if the temperatures are lower than normal for July.

“Tuesday will be a mostly dry day with sunny spells.” said a forecaster.

“However, cloud will build into the afternoon and well-scattered showers will occur. Cool for the time of year; highest temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees Celsius, in moderate, occasionally fresh, west to northwest breezes.”
