Dublin weather: Weather to take major turn this week as thunderstorms forecast amid 27 degree scorchers

Met Eireann has forecast a warm and humid week ahead of us but thunderstorms happening on a daily basis might dampen our plans for going to outdoor events.

According to the national forecaster, today will have a fairly cloudy start with spells of hazy sunshine developing as the day progresses. It will be dry throughout most of the day, unlike the week ahead, but just a few scattered showers are still possible. The warm and humid weather will have highest temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees in mostly light breezes with mist or fog possible at the coast.

The evening will remain humid and it will also be rather misty tonight, with clear spells and just the odd shower. Where the showers do occur, they may be heavy and prolonged. Lowest temperatures will be from 12 to 15 degrees in light, variable winds.

The pollen forecast is high on Sunday and Monday, and the solar UV index is moderate to high.

Tomorrow will be another warm and humid day with hazy sunshine and scattered showers. Met Eireann has said: "Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery with the potential for some spot flooding, especially later in the day. Maximum temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees in mostly light variable winds, a little cooler along the coast."

While this is as far as their forecast for Dublin goes, according to their national outlook the week will be very warm with sunny spells and scattered heavy showers or thunderstorms. The UV Index and Pollen Count will be High.

Monday night

"A few heavy showers or thunderstorms will continue in the midlands and west overnight with clear spells developing elsewhere. Humid and close with some mist and fog. Lowest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees in mostly light northeast or variable winds.

Tuesday

"Very warm on Tuesday with sunny spells. Some heavy showers or thunderstorms will break out, especially in the midlands and west of the country. Highest temperatures of 23 to 27 degrees generally, but less warm at the coast due to sea breezes.

"Mist and fog will affect some coastal areas at times. Showers dying out on Tuesday night with clear spells developing. Areas of mist or fog in places. Lowest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees with light winds or calm conditions.

Wednesday

"Very warm or hot on Wednesday with hazy sunshine and a few heavy showers or thunderstorms developing in the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 24 to 27 degrees generally but again a little cooler in coastal areas due to sea breezes.

"Isolated heavy showers or thunderstorms on Wednesday night but most areas will be dry with some clear spells. Mist and fog forming in places. Lowest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees with light winds.

Thursday and Friday

"Little change for Thursday and Friday with very warm or hot conditions by day as top temperatures range from 24 to 27 degrees generally but slightly less warm in coastal parts due to sea breezes.

"There will be hazy sunny spells along with a few heavy showers or thunderstorms. Warm and humid by night with lowest temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees."
