March cold and dry

 March has opened in a very cold fashion in Ireland with a lot of cold frosty nights. In fact there has been more frost in March than all of the rest of the Winter.

You may have noticed too that the grass and trees have gone brown too. This is a combination of the frost as well as storms of February.

Luckily the windy stormy weather for March didn't materialise and after a little rain on St Patrick's Day most of the rest of March should be dry with temperatures of 9c to 15c. Still some frosty nights though.

Weather Forecast for June 2021 Ireland

 Well what a terribly cold May that was. Even colder than we predicted. The last few days of May will be pleasant 18 to 21c and the start of June looks set to continue this vein...for a while. 2021 is a year dominated by cold weather in Ireland.

After a warm first few days of June with thundery showers moving up from the South and temperatures in the early 20s the High Pressure weakens and is replaced by cooler unsettled weather again much like May. Probably not quite as cool but 14 to 17 or 18c around most days.

Rainfall will be above normal for the month. Temperatures around average in the West and below average in the East. Sunshine average as much rain will be heavy showers.

Late June might see a warming trend and more sunshine than rain. 

30 Day Weather Forecast May 2021 for Ireland

 May will be a cold month with unsettled spells and also quite breezy at times so no sign of Summer just yet. Things may warm up as we head towards the later part of the month. Temperatures are going to be about 3c BELOW normal over the course of the month rarely going above 15c.

Rainfall will be well up to normal even slightly above. Sunshine will be in short supply after the bright weather from April it will feel like we have gone backwards in season weather wise.

June has early indications of some much warmer weather but it remains to be seen how this actually pans out.

30 Day Weather Forecast for Ireland

We are looking at things settling down over the coming days in Ireland starting on March 19th and ending on March 24th. Temperatures of 12 to 16c over this period.

From March 24th to 28th it becomes unsettled once again but probably not as wet as recently and in any case temperatures will still be 11 to 14c.

Moving into April cooler weather is signalled with showers in a Northerly wind and temperatures of just 7 to 10c. Showers will not be heavy.

In the long run April will not be nearly as volatile as March and it looks like some warmer spells will start appearing on the charts after week one.

30 Day Weather Forecast for Ireland

March 2019 will be wet wintry and cool at first for the first half of the month. Then it will become drier with less rain.

Temperatures for the month will start at below normal values but finish the month well above normal.

Some snow is expected in March especially around the 10th to 15th of the month.

Late month sees temperatures of 18 or 19c with high pressure to the fore.

30 Day Weather

Wet and unsettled to near the end of September

Drier and Fair for the start of October for Ireland

After this conditions will slowly get colder and wetter.

By mid October frost is likely.

Unsettled with some Warm Spells

The rest of Spring looks like it is going to be very unsettled and showery and cold. However temperatures are set to rise as we head into May in Ireland with more in the way of sunshine and less showers. However there will not be a prolonged spell of settled weather and the sunny days will be sometimes cold liike the ones gone by.

Early May should see some decent dry days before more heavy rain or showers midmonth and this in turn will be followed by more in the way of quiet weather. Temperatures of 12 to 15 or 16c can be expected.

Next 30 Days cool and mixed

A cool if not cold outlook for the next 30 days with some windy weather at times. In summary Ireland can expect a bit of everything as the Atlantic remains quite mobile but with the Jetstream a little further South than would be normally the case temperatures will remain quite low at times and on the odd occasion snow will be a risk especially on high ground and in the North.

There will also be a lot of windy and wet days too as active low pressure systems move close to or over Ireland and the North and West will again be most at risk from these.

Of the dry days there is a slight downside to this too as there will be frosty nights with the Jetstream so far South. 

Mild weather will not really be a feature of the weather but on a few occasions like the week before Christmas and perhaps the New Year it may be quite mild with temperatures into double figures.

Cool and Unsettled

The weather for the next 30 days is basically cool and unsettled with showers or longer outbreaks of rain at times. Temperatures are going to be below average overall in the period by 1 to 2c and rainfall again will be above normal by 20 or 30%. All parts of Ireland will see heavy rain with perhaps the Southern half seeing most of it. Towards the end of August there is a possibility of some more warm weather with temperatures in the 20s for a few days at least.

30 Day Forecast More of the Same

Well the weather has been very unsettled to start this Summer and it looks set to remain that way right into July. Some supercell thunderstorms have formed and there has been a lot of flooding and high rainfall in all parts of Ireland with only the very North of the country escaping the worst of it. The weather will not be as bad in the coming weeks but showery days will be the order. However there will be a few pleasant days too when the temperature will climb to 20 or 21c. It is unlikely we will see temperatures of near 28c that we saw at the end of May again this Summer.

Warm to start then Thundery

warm this end to May for Ireland

Warm weather looks likely to start the period with temperatures getting up to the mid 20s in some parts of Ireland but then they will drop back to the High teens around the start of June. Thereafter it will be quite thundery but warm and there will be heavy rain especially in more Southern and Eastern parts of Ireland. The North and the West may see more in the way of sunshine for the first week of June. Temperatures for June will be higher than they have been all year and the month will certainly have an overall average temperature of above average. In the normal run of things in June we would get temperatures during the day of between 15 and 18c but this year it looks like the temperature will be around 16 to 20c a lot of the time and in any prolonged sunshine even higher. A lot of the weather in the next 30 days in Ireland is going to come from the South and East of the country so more of a continental feel to the weather even when it is wet but at the moment the first week of the period is looking very nice indeed and if you were to pinpoint the best periods of weather it would seem that May 23rd to May 27th will see a lot of warm sunny weather for Ireland and also June 7th to June 10th looks good at the moment.

Dry Weather on the Way

A lot of dry weather is on the way according to the latest weather charts for March though there is some doubt as to whether it will last past mid-month. Temperatures could get up as high as 17 or 18c depending on wind direction and sunshine amounts. Later on in the month things go downhill a bit as the more unsettled weather returns but high pressure will be nearby.

Becoming Warmer

The 30 Day Weather Forecast is predicting a warmer period for Ireland to start July. Now the East and South of the country are going to get the best of this weather but it will be pleasant at times too in the West and North though here there will be small amounts of rain at times with the risk of more thundery outbursts after warmer spells. Cooler again by mid July with more showers and rain.

Wind and rain have taken a toll on plants
