Weather forecast from Weather Online, TODAY ... Mostly cloudy to start, some hazy sunshine may develop at times in eastern half of the country, but cloud further west may spawn showers and a few thunderstorms. Theres a risk of heavy to severe storms in a north-south zone between Galway (city) and Athlone, which may lead to heavy downpours of 20-30 mm in some parts of Connacht and possibly west Munster (Clare, Tipps at least). Somewhat further west showers may not be nearly as heavy although perhaps more persistent. East of the heavy rainfall zone, amounts will steadily decrease and some parts of Leinster and east Ulster may remain dry. Highs will range from 22 C west to 26 C wherever the sun breaks through in the east, and high humidex values will make it feel quite hot. TONIGHT ... Hazy and very warm east, cloudy and warm west, lows may drop no further than 18-20 C in places. Some showers will continue in reduced form while moving slowly north. WEDNESDAY ... The pattern may be similar to today except that the storm zone may tilt somewhat further to the west to lie between Ballina and Galway, but then could split into several zones of showers or thunderstorms later, all of this activity drifting north. Once again, eastern third of the country has the best chance of seeing sunshine and remaining dry but storms could become heavy almost anywhere given the light winds and high humidity. Highs will reach 23 to 27 C from west to east. THURSDAY ... Another rather cloudy, very warm and humid day with widespread thundery showers, some heavy downpours, and a temperature range only 20 to 25 C in most places. It could get a bit warmer anywhere that sunshine breaks through. FRIDAY ... Showers and thunderstorms may become less active for part of the day, but will redevelop later. Very warm and humid with highs near 26 C. WEEKEND OUTLOOK ... Showers, increasing west to northwest breezes, and considerably fresher with highs near 24 C Saturday, 19 C Sunday. Although it could stay a bit cooler for a day or two, another warm spell seems likely to follow this brief change.
