Some long dry spells again this Summer but some short unsettled spells too.
June
Mild or even warm after a chilly start. The first days may even see some frost. Thereafter warm or very warm with temperatures up to 26c likely later in the month. Some thundery showers also but mist n drizzle will plague the North and West on occasion too keeping temperatures several degrees cooler here than in the rest of Ireland.
July
Same theme continues but the Northwest Southeast split will be much more pronounced with rain in the North and West but only light showers in the South and East. Warm a lot of times in the Southeast but highest temperatures in the Northwest will tend to be 19 or 20c. Heavy rain to end July.
August
The year we finally see the first warm sunny August since 2003. Temperatures could even reach the high twenties as plumes of heat move up from Europe towards Ireland. Rain will hold off except at times in the West.
In the main the East of Ireland could experience some moderate drought conditions. The West will be more unsettled so soil moisture deficits should ease here from the end of May
