The weather in Ireland<\/a> is set to change after weeks of dry conditions as cloudy periods and possible rain spread across the country with high temperatures cooling slightly.<\/p>\n

According to Met \u00c9ireann<\/a>, Monday will see cloudy periods and possible drizzle in the northern half of the country. Sunny spells will become more widespread in the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

However, cloud and patchy drizzle will persist in the northwest.<\/p>\n

Highest temperatures will be 19 to 25 degrees in the south and 15 to 18 degrees in the northwest and north.<\/p>\n

Monday night will be mostly dry but the north and northwest will experience cloudier conditions and some drizzle. Lowest temperatures will be 10 to 14 degrees with a few patches of mist in parts also.<\/p>\n

The national forecaster said Tuesday will have a cloudy start as sunshine becomes more widespread in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

In the northwest, conditions will remain cloudy and light rain or drizzle is possible.<\/p>\n

Highest temperatures are set to be 19 to 24 degrees, warmest farther south.<\/p>\n

In the north and northwest, highest temperatures will range from 15 to 18 degrees.<\/p>\n

It will be mostly dry on Tuesday night with areas farther north experiencing cloudier conditions and light rain. Lowest temperatures will be 10 to 13 degrees.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the south will experience the best of the early sunshine while farther north has a cloudy start.<\/p>\n

Sunny spells will become more widespread in the afternoon and evening, with highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees but a little cooler near north-facing coasts.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, conditions will become cloudier in the north and northwest with possible light rain, lowest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees.<\/p>\n

At Rush South Beach in Co Dublin, the HSE has put a do-not-swim notice in place as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n

Bathing at the beach is prohibited due to a pump station overflow that was likely caused by a pump failure. The measure will be in place for four days from Monday.<\/p>\n

Resampling of water will be arranged, Fingal County Council said in a statement.<\/p>\n

It added although the beach is still open, beach users are asked to respect the notice, which aims to ensure health is not compromised.<\/p>\n

People can check for water quality at any of the monitored bathing places in Ireland by checking the EPA website<\/a> or the notice board at the entrance to each beach. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The weather in Ireland is set to change after weeks of dry conditions as cloudy periods and possible…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,1191,43,15950],"class_list":["post-559031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-met-eireann","tag-news","tag-weather-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
