Thunderstorm advisory issued by Met Eireann for three counties due to warm climate conditions
The weather in southwest Ireland is set for a dramatic change on Wednesday, with a thunderstorm warning issued by Met Éireann for counties Clare, Kerry, and Limerick. This comes as a contrast to the summery weather expected on Tuesday.
According to the warning, the thunderstorm is expected to cover the time period from 3pm to 9pm. While the showers on Wednesday will clear overnight, there is a possibility of localised flooding and difficult traveling conditions. Forecasters also warn of damage from lightning. However, there will be sunny spells on Wednesday, despite the showers.
Looking ahead to Thursday, the forecast indicates a mix of cloud and sunny spells, scattered showers, and temperatures between 21 and 25 degrees. The temperatures on Thursday will be similar to those on Wednesday.
The good news is that plenty of dry weather is expected for the weekend, but further showers are possible at times. Met Éireann predicts a continuation of warm weather for the weekend, with temperatures generally in the low to mid-20s.
However, stormy conditions are forecast again on Sunday night into Monday, due to Storm Floris. Met Éireann warns of stormy conditions largely for Sunday night and Bank Holiday Monday, suggesting unsettled weather returning later in the weekend. Earlier days like Friday and Saturday are likely to have mixed conditions with some sunshine and possible showers.
Tuesday was expected to be the warmest day of a hot, humid, and sunny week in Ireland. Temperatures on Wednesday will range from 21 to 25 degrees, and temperatures are expected to reach between 22 and 28 degrees on Wednesday in the southwest.
Given the changing weather conditions, it is advised to monitor local Met Éireann updates for any evolving warnings. Stay safe and dry!
Met Éireann's weather-forecasting indicates a significant shift in southwest Ireland's weather on Wednesday, with thunderstorms predicted from 3pm to 9pm. Weather-forecasting also predicts a continuation of warm weather for the weekend, despite the potential for further showers.
