Met Eireann says thundery rain bursts and flooding to hammer Dublin as low system hits
Met Eireann has issued a rather miserable warning for Dublin as a new low-pressure system will bring a band of rain over Ireland.
The national forecaster has warned of heavy showers and spot flooding, although temperatures will remain mild to warm. Today will start off dry with sunny spells and isolated showers.
It’ll be dry for most of the day with some hazy sunshine and temperatures will be a mild 17 degrees. But a big change will hit tonight as “heavy thundery” bursts of rain will bring spot flooding with the lowest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees.

Overnight rain will clear eastwards tomorrow followed by sunny spells and scattered heavy showers for the rest of the day. It will be breezy too with the highest temperatures of 17 to 19 degrees.
While there is no further forecast for Dublin, here is what the national outlook says:
Tuesday night
A Met Eireann forecaster said: “Clear spells and well-scattered showers, mainly affecting Atlantic counties towards morning. Lows of 7 to 10 degrees, in just light southwest breezes.
Wednesday
“Showery conditions will affect the western half of Ireland during the first half of the day, later arriving into the eastern half of the country. Some sharp possibly thundery bursts will affect eastern counties around evening.
“Highest temperatures of 15 to 18 or 19 degrees, best values away from the Atlantic, all in mostly light westerly breezes.”
Thursday
“A similar day following for Thursday with light to moderate westerly winds and scattered thundery showers in the afternoon and evening.”
Friday
“Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will affect Atlantic counties, especially later in the day. Mostly dry elsewhere with sunny spells but well-scattered showers occurring too.
“Highs of 15 to 19 or 20 degrees, all the while it will be mildest in the east. Southwest breezes will be mostly moderate in strength.”
