Dublin weather: Met Eireann forecasts thunderstorms and spot flooding as dry spell ends

It looks like the dry spell in Ireland is coming to an end, as Met Eireann is forecasting thunderstorms and spot flooding this weekend.

While we'll miss the sunshine, it's important to stay safe during these weather conditions. Don't forget to bring a brolly or a raincoat with you when you're heading out.

Some areas might face the risk of spot flooding, the national forecaster has warned. It will still be warm but marginally cooler compared to the last few days.

Today will start off with some hazy sunshine but it will turn cloudier with showery outbreaks of rain in the afternoon. Some of these showers will be heavy with possible isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures will be around 19 to 23 degrees.

Thundery showers will continue into the night with some clear spells. Some mist and fog patches will develop, especially along the coast, and it will be a mild night with the temperatures of 14 to 15 degrees.

Tomorrow will see good sunny spells but there will be a chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms. The highest temperatures will be around 20 to 23 degrees.

There is no further forecast for Dublin but here's what the national outlook says:

Saturday night

A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Showers will ease during Saturday night, but at a few isolated showers will be possible, other than that there will be a mix of clear spells, low cloud and hill fog in light to moderate south to southeast winds.
