Ireland braces for a turbulent February with heavy rain and high temperatures expected as a colossal weather system moves in
Dublin: Many in Ireland are hoping for a calm February after Storm Eowyn’s chaos in January. But experts say that might not happen.
Met Eireann’s early February forecast shows pressure and rain every six hours for ten days. This means significant rainfall is likely.
February usually brings rain, but we might see higher temperatures and more rain than normal this year. James Peacock, a meteorologist, even shared a fun poem about the weather patterns.
The first week of February will start with high pressure in the east and low pressure in the northwest. This could lead to warmer temperatures than usual.
However, we might also get more rain. February is known for being wet, so extra rain isn’t great news.
Here’s what to expect this weekend: Saturday will be cloudy with light rain and some mist. North Leinster and east Ulster will have dry weather. Temperatures will be between 9 to 12 degrees.
On Saturday night, rain will move in from the Atlantic, spreading east. It will clear in the west before dawn on Sunday, with temperatures dropping to 3 to 7 degrees.
Sunday morning will see rain clear quickly, leaving a bright day with some hazy sunshine. It will become overcast in the northwest later. Expect temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees.
Sunday night should be mostly dry, but a little rain might hit Atlantic coastal areas. Temperatures will range from 3 to 10 degrees, with winds picking up overnight.
Monday will be breezy with rain from the Atlantic affecting the west and northwest. Most areas will stay dry, with temperatures between 10 to 12 degrees.
On Monday night, rain will spread east, becoming heavy in the south. Expect temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees with strong winds.
