More days like this on the way
DONEGAL is set to bask in another summer heatwave later this week, forecasters have said.
We can expect a cracking day tomorrow, Wednesday, but the real heat will hit the county on Friday and give us a superb weekend with temperatures set to rise up to 23C.
And apart from the occasional drizzle or fog next week, the warm settled period will continue for at least a week.
Here’s what expert forecaster Peter O’Donnell from Irish Weather Online says about the next week and beyond!
TODAY … Cloudy with some sunny intervals, hazy and rather warm. Expect some very light rain or drizzle in central and northern counties as a weakly organized warm front drifts east, but amounts trace to 2 mm. Highs 17-20 C with the warmest readings inland south, but any longer sunny intervals could raise temperatures to 21-22 C.
TONIGHT … Partly cloudy and mild, lows 8-12 C.
WEDNESDAY … Intervals of cloud and sunshine, hazy, quite warm with highs inland 20-23 C, near Atlantic and north coasts, 17-19 C with some persistent low cloud or sea fog in some places.
THURSDAY … Morning showers or drizzly light rain may affect Ulster and Leinster for a few hours but it will otherwise remain partly cloudy and warm with highs generally 18-22 C.
FRIDAY to SUNDAY … Warm with some sunshine each day, highs about 19 to 23 C but with potential for higher readings inland east and south if there’s enough sunshine (25-27 C could be recorded in a few spots).
OUTLOOK … Continuing rather warm in early July with weak frontal systems bringing small amounts of rain around late Tuesday or early Wednesday 2nd and 3rd, then again about four days further into the future, but also some long dry intervals too.
