Met Eireann has revealed when we might see the return of rain, thunder and floods.
The weather service has released a detailed week by week forecast for the month of June, explaining when high pressure will "weaken its grip" on Ireland. They stated that for week one (June 5-June 11) high pressure will continue to dominate, with "settled conditions" and "well below average rainfall."
They also said: "Potential hazards will include the potential for increased drought conditions, and elevated fire risk and the potential for a high temperature warning in the southwest." However, for week two (Monday, June 12 to Sunday, June 18), high pressure will "weaken its grip".

Temperatures may remain above average and it may be drier than average, remaining "mostly settled." Met Eireann said: "This will add to the drought risk and the fire potential although the high temperature potential look to be a little lower on average."
Week three (June 19 - June 25) will see lower pressure and the potential for rainfall across the country, however temperatures will still be slightly above the usual for this time of the year.
"There is the potential in this scenario for some thundery falls of rain with the flow predominantly from the southeast with the added potential for some surface water flooding exacerbated by any heavier falls of rain on the dry pan generated from the drought conditions," it warns.
Week four (June 26 - July 2) will see above average temperatures but the potential for showery rainfall. Overall, there is "low potential for thundery showers" and associated surface water flooding "could persist."
