WEATHER: A soggy start to the week (but expect a big improvement by Wednesday)
We had a succession of drenchings over the weekend.
And Met Éireann is predicting that the last week in May will bring more of the same in Cork until the weather begins to improve on Wednesday.
In the meantime, it’s more scattered heavy showers this morning with the odd sunny spell developing later so don’t leave the house without a brolly.
“Through the morning, further showers will develop with some longer spells of thundery rain in the afternoon, but showers will ease during the evening. Breezy in moderate to fresh northwest winds. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees.” said a forecaster.
It will be dry and cloudy tonight with light outbreaks of rain feeding in from the Atlantic towards dawn before another rainy day on Tuesday, with highest temperatures of 11 to 15 degrees.

There’s better news for Wednesday: “A mainly dry day with just patchy rain in the southwest gradually clearing and just light showers occurring in the northwest. Some good sunny spells too, the best of which will be in the morning and evening. Feeling rather pleasant with highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in light breezes.”
Temperatures will rise to between 15C and 17C on Thursday and Friday, with rain and cloud forecast across Munster.
However, forecasters are predicting “a good deal of dry weather for the weekend” with temperatures continuing to increase and highs in the high teens generally.
