The rest of May sees more normal weather for Ireland after a mini heatwave in the West when temperatures in Belmullet peaked at 25.4c. Overall the West has done much better than the East from this fine spell of weather with over 200% of the normal sunshine recorded here while over in the East there were a number of cloudy days and even some light rain at times.
All the way until the end of May now we are going to see the normal sun one day, shower another and rain the other type of weather. Temperatures will be around 16 or 17c most of the time but may get higher in long sunny spells and lower in showers.
June is looking like one of those thundery type months where everything is borderline. If the shower activity stays South there may be a number of dry days with warm sunshine mixed with the odd downpour but then again if there is more shower activity then the temperatures wont be a high. However as the weathergossip Summer forecast shows this year is going to be a lot warmer than previous Summers if not sunny.
A much warmer Summer than 2015.
There will be temperatures of 25c in July.May and July will be the best months.
MayMixed weather but dry and warm midmonth with temperatures over 20c. Later in May it will be cooler and unsettled.
JuneA high number of showery days with temperatures of just 14 to 17c. There will be some even cooler days too. However at the end as July approaches High Pressure will build to the South.
JulyA warm month with some Thundery outbreaks. The temperature will be near 20c a lot and some days could reach 24 or 25c in the South. The warmest day is usually 27c.
AugustVery cool the past number of years but this Summer could be different especially for the first half. Rain and showers more prevalent in the second half of the month.
Overall the North and West never get as much sun as the South but this year will not be freezing cold like 2015.
