June has not been kind to us, weather-wise.

However, while the drizzle is set to continue for another few days, Met Éireann has some much better news in store for Cork next week.

It will be mostly cloudy for the rest of the day today, and while tomorrow, Thursday will be mainly dry at first, we can expect some patchy rain during the early afternoon, extending across Munster during the afternoon and evening.

Forecasters predict it will be “quite warm and humid, with maximum temperatures of 19 to 22 degrees”.

Friday will be mixed, but here comes the headline: “Early indications suggest that mainly dry, warm and settled will develop for much of next week.”

“There is still some uncertainty, but currently Sunday is looking mainly dry, with sunny spells, but some scattered showers are still likely. Max. 15 to 21 or 22 degrees, in light northerly or variable breezes.” said a forecaster.

Early indications for Monday to Thursday are for “mainly dry, settled conditions, with a mix of cloud and sunny spells and light winds.

“Becoming warm also, with temperatures of 15 to 22 degrees on Monday, rising to the low to mid-20s for Tuesday and Wednesday, possibly higher on Thursday.”
