“The weather is not completely settled. There’ll be light showers across the country on Friday. It’ll mostly be dry over the weekend, but cloudy conditions are predicted in hilly regions. Sunday will be warm and humid with 22-23 degrees in Dublin. Great time to hit the beach,” said Deirdre Lowe, Met Éireann media forecaster.
The eastern part of the country will witness more humidity depending on the cloud cover over the next week.

The solar UV index will be moderate to high in the upcoming days due to increased humidity and sunny spells. Heavy rains are unlikely in Dublin at the time, but light and patchy conditions can prevail in western and southwestern regions.
