Weather Forecast: Met Eireann forecasts when spell of hot weather will end as Ireland basks in 25 degree heat

As Ireland basks in 25 degree heat and glorious sunshine Met Eireann has forecast when the good weather is set to come to an end. 

The good news is that the hot weather will be with us for a while yet with Met Eireann forecasting that high pressure is set to dominate the weather for the rest of this week and through next week.

However in Met Eireann's monthly forecast, it says a change to more unsettled conditions looks likely around June 16 as low pressure has more of an influence and the upper air becomes more unstable. Met Eireann says it looks probable that it will average out slightly wetter than normal starting on June 16 and overall it looks like temperatures will be marginally above normal in most areas, especially in the southwest of the country.

Thankfully that is two weeks away with the current Met Eireann forecast for next week stating that high pressure centred to the northwest of Ireland will feed in an easterly airflow over the country. This will bring in dry conditions with just a chance of some precipitation towards the end next week. Confidence is high that it will be warmer than normal in most areas too, especially in western parts with some coastal fringes of the east seeing closer to average values. The upper air remains stable too.

25 things you'll hear Irish people say during the hot weather

'You're after getting a great colour'

From June 9 to June 15, Met Eireann says that while high pressure is still likely to the north of Ireland, it is declining a bit as low pressure in southern Europe edges northwards. It still looks like there will be an easterly airflow for some of the period which will bring in slightly above average temperatures to the east and a few degrees warmer overall compared to normal in the west. It will also remain drier than normal with growth increasingly restricted.

As it always does with its Monthly Forecast, Met Eireann says it should not be used for specific planning purposes as they have generally low skill compared with the 10-day forecast.
