Just how long can the sunshine last? Predictions say another week THE ongoing good weather has led to a highly unusual situation – as a growing number of Irish people wondering when the sunshine might end, and saying they would welcome ‘a nice drop’ of rain instead. The outlook is that such folk in Carlow will be waiting another full week before getting their wish, as no rain is forecast before next Monday, July 16. Instead, we’re looking at continued blues skies and high temperatures – in the high twenties for today (Tuesday) through to Friday, before cooling a bit to 21 to 22 degrees at the weekend. It is expected to remain warm then in the days after that, but rain is then likely to make a return, in the form of some daily showers between Monday July 16 and Friday July 20.
After that, it will be back to the somewhat cloudy and overcast, but still pleasantly warm (18 to 22 degrees) conditions that we normally associate with an Irish summer. However, the long-term outlook is good for August too. Meanwhile, the good weather continues, with the Oak Park weather station in Carlow last ZHHN EHLQJ R൶FLDOO\ UHFRJQLVHG by Met Éireann as having a KHDWZDYH WKH R൶FLDO GH¿QLWLRQ being top temperatures of GHJUHHV RU PRUH RQ ¿YH successive days). The Met Éireann report also stated that 24 of its 25 stations across the country had also PHW WKH R൶FLDO GH¿QLWLRQ RI experiencing a drought (less than 0.2mm of rainfall on 11 successive days). Belmullet in Mayo was the only exception.
