The following 2 weeks will see half and half type weather. Half the time in Ireland it will be mild with temperatures of 10 to 13c while half the time it will be cold with temperatures at 6 to 10c. As is usually the case in this set up there will be more sun on the colder days and more rain on the milder ones.
Frosty nights are sure to feature too with minima down as low as -3c though there is a risk that towards the end of the month values could dip below minus 5.
80mph winds are set to devastate Co Cork and Kerry on Monday with structural damage elsewhere in Munster
There is a huuricane developing in the mid Atlantic that is headed towards Europe on Monday. Whether it retains its hurricane characteristics is open to question but certainly an interesting and potentially damaging development for Ireland.
Keep posted on the storm here...

Well Summer 2017 has started off quite poorly apart from one good week in June when temperatures reached 28.6c in Pheonix Park.
July does not look like bringing much Summer sun but it will bring warmth with temperatures regularly in the 20s.
Rainfall will be around normal with a lot of drizzle or mist at times.
However dry spells will be common too and at the end of July there is a signal for much warmer temperatures after a cool unsettled period mid month.
