Ireland Weather: Thunderstorms, Warm Days, and Drier Forecasts

Recent weather updates from Met Éireann reveal widespread thunderstorm warnings across Ireland, with 27 counties including Dublin under yellow alerts. Heavy showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected over the next 24 hours, potentially causing local flooding, lightning damage, and travel disruptions. Ireland faces a 'mild and humid' night with temperatures not dropping below 12-15°C, followed by a wet and stormy Thursday with highs of 16-21°C. The country is also experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures reaching up to 30°C in some areas, prompting forest fire alerts and water conservation measures. Despite recent unsettled and breezy conditions, Met Éireann's long-range forecast indicates that Ireland's weather will become drier, warmer, and more settled from mid-June, although no summer heatwave is expected. The week ahead will see a mix of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and some drier spells, with temperatures possibly hitting 28-30°C later in the week. The overall trend suggests a transition to more stable weather, but the current period remains highly unsettled with frequent thunderstorms and heavy showers.
