Met Eireann has forecasted the return of “unsettled” weather and a drop in temperatures following the recent Indian summer. After a brief period of warm and sunny weather, Dubliners can expect a change in conditions starting next week.
Temperature Drop and Unsettled Weather Ahead
According to Met Eireann, temperatures are expected to decrease next Monday, with the weather becoming more unsettled from Tuesday onwards. The forecast indicates that there will be outbreaks of rain, which could turn heavy at times. This shift in weather patterns suggests a departure from the recent sunny days, so it’s advisable to make the most of the current pleasant conditions.
Current Weather Conditions in Dublin
