DUBLIN, IRELAND — Dublin is set for a week of unsettled and blustery conditions, with an immediate drop in temperatures and a “monster” storm potentially lurking in the Atlantic.
The start of the week brought a frosty Tuesday morning, with temperatures set to fall to near 0 degrees Celsius tonight. Met Éireann forecasts that the coming days will be marked by wet, windy weather, before indications suggest more settled conditions will develop closer to Christmas.
Forecast Details: Cold and Wet
- Tuesday: Following an early morning frost and fog, the day will be mostly dry and cold with sunshine. However, temperatures will plummet overnight, reaching lows of 0 to 4 degrees. Rain will develop in the west and spread eastwards, bringing fresh to strong, gusty southerly winds.
- Wednesday: Milder conditions return, with the rain and drizzle clearing eastwards through the morning. A mix of sunny spells and scattered showers will follow. Afternoon highs will be between 10 and 13 degrees. Winds will ease but remain breezy.
- Thursday: The weather will turn wet and windy again. Persistent rain, heavy at times, is expected in the morning and afternoon. As this clears, heavy showers, with a risk of hail or isolated thunderstorms, will feed in from the Atlantic. Highest temperatures will be 7 to 10 degrees, with winds increasing to fresh/strong, and gales possible on some western coasts.
Long-Term Outlook
A “Weather Watcher” noted a “monster low” brewing in the Atlantic, which is expected to bring a fresh wave of rainfall into Western Europe by Friday. While this suggests continued mild but wet conditions, Met Éireann’s long-range forecast offers a glimmer of hope: “While unsettled conditions are set to continue for the weekend… there are indications that more settled conditions will develop from early next week
