ENJOY THE bank holiday sunshine while it lasts…because it’s not going to last.
This morning, Met Eireann has updated its less-than-optimistic forecast for early next week to include the warning that “ground frost is likely in rural areas early next week”.
The best of the weather is expected to continue today and tomorrow, with temperatures this afternoon reaching 20 to 25 degrees. Irish Weather Online reports that the warmest places in Ireland today are likely to be the inland south and west.
Tomorrow will also be dry and warm, with sunny spells and temperatures of up to 23 degrees forecast for Leinster and Munster. However, by Sunday northeasterly winds will see temperatures fall to between 11 and 15 degrees.
And as we reported yesterday, the thermometer continues its downward trajectory into the early days of next week, as a wet, chilly spell takes hold.
But it could be worse: Irish Weather Online adds that Scotland can expect snow in hilly areas next week.

ColdSnap! Frost Alarm for Android mobile phones is here to notify you when a low temperature is forecast rather than you having to remember to check ! I’ve just released it on the android market place having developed it last week after the frost killed my cucurbits for the second year running ;-( Thought others would find it useful to.
Where did you cut your journalistic teeth, Jennifer? The Star ? Reads very much like a red-top and there was I buying the notion that the journal would do it differently.
Sorry to disappoint you, John. In fact, I trained at The Sunday Business Post and RTE.
Can I suggest you read our comments policy? It doesn’t specifically proclude making patronising remarks to TheJournal’s staff, but it does ask you not to get personal.
Many thanks,
Jennifer
That’s you told John
have your say
