Dublin, 19 May 2025 — Ireland’s run of dry, sunny and unseasonably warm weather is expected to give way to a “more permanent regime change” from Saturday, according to Met Éireann. Forecaster Liz Walsh said the high‑pressure system that has dominated for weeks will retreat, allowing lower pressure to usher in a return to more typical, mixed late‑spring conditions.

Daily Details
Monday 19 May
A bright morning gives way to scattered heavy showers by afternoon, particularly in the west and midlands. Localised downpours could trigger spot flooding and isolated thunderstorms. Light to moderate easterly or variable breezes; temperatures peak at 22 °C in the west, but just 15 °C along eastern coasts. Overnight: largely dry, 3–8 °C.
Tuesday 20 May
Sunshine and broken cloud early. From midday, showers intensify and drift north‑eastwards; Munster sees patchy rain and drizzle by evening. Highs 16–20 °C. Overnight rain clears southwards, leaving mist patches and lows of 5–10 °C.
Wednesday 21 May
Residual cloud in the south clears quickly to deliver a mostly sunny day. A few light showers may bubble up in southern counties. Temperatures 18–22 °C, but 14–16 °C in north Ulster as light to moderate north‑westerlies freshen near Atlantic coasts. Clear and cool overnight, 4–9 °C.
Thursday 22 May
Another predominantly dry day under patchy cloud. Northerly winds introduce a fresher feel to Ulster, Connacht and the Leinster coast (14–16 °C); elsewhere, maxima reach 17–21 °C. Only isolated light showers expected.
Friday 23 May
Forecast confidence is lower, but current guidance keeps most areas dry through midday. Cloud thickens from the west as Atlantic rain approaches during the late afternoon and evening. Highs moderate to 14–18 °C with light, variable breezes.
Transition to Mixed Conditions
From Saturday 24 May, the synoptic pattern flips: weakening high pressure yields to a North Atlantic low, restoring average temperatures and a greater risk of showers or longer spells of rain through early next week. Met Éireann advises the public to monitor updated forecasts, particularly if planning outdoor events or travel.
