Friday and the weekend

Current indications from Met Éireann suggest Friday will be another mostly dry and sunny day, although the odd shower may develop in the afternoon. Maximum temperatures of 17°C to 22°C are forecast, coolest in the east and mildest in the west, in light to moderate east to southeast breezes.

The settled period of weather looks set to continue into the weekend, with mostly dry weather though there will be showers at times.

Farming forecast

For the next week Met Éireann has said it will be mostly dry, if not completely dry, with most areas receiving no rainfall.

There will possibly be a few light showers in the west and on high ground on Sunday and Monday, but otherwise it said it will be dry all week.

Temperatures will be a “little above normal in the early days of next week, especially in the west where it will be up to 2°C above normal, with daily maximums in the low 20s”.

“Mean soil temperatures over the past seven days ranged 16°C to 17°C, around 1°C higher than average. Mean soil temperatures will increase a little over the next week,” it said.

Drying conditions will become good from Monday with plenty of sunshine. However, winds will be light away from the east coast for most of next week, inhibiting drying somewhat.

Met Éireann said there will be excellent spraying conditions from Monday to Friday.
