Hi all
Could someone give us some good news for the bank holiday in June (4-5).

On the Met Eireann forecast tonight after the news at 9 Jean Byrne did give a hint that there might be an improvement in the weather on the cards from the middle of next week and also on this forum MT has also indicated an improvement in June as well so hopefully so you might be in look.

Mnay sources including MT and BBC are forecasting a settled spell from Thursday. BBC are going further and saying it is the start of a prolonged spell of settled weather and are suggesting that there will be drought conditions over much of the UK including NI.

A settled spell yes but those BBC/UKMO long range forecasts are consistently inaccurate. I don't know why they still bother doing them.

Weather after the 9 news again mentioning the possibility of warm settled weather for the bank holiday weekend.

Heat wave predicted from the 3rd June onwards including the whole of July, similar to the Summer of 1974. Temperatures to reach 30's.

Link?

Sorry do not have a link but heard this on Shannonside radio yesterday, the forecaster sounded believable.

Email and ask if they will stake their job on it. That should sort out any beliefs.

Don't you mean 1976?? - summer 74' was pretty mediocre!!

12z ECMWF for the 4 June. Still looks good.

From the Met Eireann outlook.

Current indications suggest that Thursday, Friday and next weekend will be dry with good sunshine. It will become much warmer also with temperatures reaching the low 20s in many areas.

Models this morning and mentioned by MT suggest it would be wise to make the most of the coming warm spell later next week and weekend, since it appears to go downhill rapidly thereafter:(

Well I hate to sound greedy but three days just isn't enough. It's almost worse when you get a couple of nice days and temps go back down low and the wind comes back, it drives me nuts, I want 3 full months of sun :mad: :mad: :mad:

But other models are suggesting its the start of a long long settled spell that could last til end of June.

It will be very warm and sunny on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Temperatures may reach 25c inland. Typically 21 or 22c elsewhere. It may get cooler from Sunday but it's still uncertain.

Any ideas what the winds will be like up around North Donegal on Saturday? I've a big adventure race and I'm hoping not to have to cycle into a strong headwind!

Harps

Shouldn't be anything more than a light breeze on Saturday. Looks like its back to a cold northerly again on Sunday though

I'm encouraged by the trend in all the models (except one) today, in holding on to most of the high even into Monday. Now it probably will get a bit cooler in all areas on Sunday and Monday, but the push of much cooler air from the north has been somewhat downgraded from what I saw yesterday on the same models.

At this rather early point, would suggest that the west, central and southern counties are likely to see highs of 22-24 Saturday, 18-21 Sunday and 17-19 on Monday. The trend in the north and east will be more like 18-21, 15-18 then 13-16. But some of these lower numbers will be felt only along the coast from Dublin north, it will gradually warm up inland.

We'll see if the models hold on to this gradual trend because it also extends into the week beyond Monday, and keeps at least some warmth for the south rather than plunging back to this past week's levels. (Like 16-18 sort of temps instead of 13-16). The north may get back into unsettled conditions at times by late Monday and Tuesday, on the pattern suggested today.

Met eireann didn't seem to be agreeing with you at the 9.30 weather.
They were in agreement about this weekend: maxs of 22C Thurs, 24 Fri, 22 sat and 20 sun, but after that she mentioned that it doesn't look good, din't seem to have the same hope of a lons settled spell . .but then they are always very conservative!

I agree with MT. He is absolutely right on all the models this evening. A cooling trend next week but id say average sunny spells, some cloud, the odd shower. Chilly breeze on East and North coasts.
