For the first week of August, they suggest "low pressure predominantly to the north of Ireland with an elongated upper level high to the south of Ireland, combined they will steer in westerly winds and a chance of above average rainfall in west Connacht and west Ulster, but holding a little drier than average in south Munster.

From August 8 to 14, high pressure returns with a chance of some pleasant weather.

During that week, low pressure over Europe with bring "northeasterly winds over Ireland" and "it will remain drier than average with little change expected in temperatures as they remain generally close to average. Overall the potential for hazards will remain low."
