🌡️ POTENTIALLY TURNING HOT NEXT WEEK ACROSS IRELAND🌡️

Next week, Ireland is projected to experience a significant warm-up, with solid agreement across various models including the UKMO, GFS, CMC, ECMWF, and GEM. A warm plume of air, particularly affecting Spain, France, and Portugal, is anticipated to move northward towards Ireland and the UK. However, there’s still some uncertainty surrounding this forecast.

The ensemble runs from most models indicate a trend towards warmer weather, although the ECMWF model hesitated until recently, showing a mix of warm and cooler scenarios. It is gradually trending warmer, which is encouraging.

Some models suggest temperatures could start increasing by Monday into the low 20s , with very warm conditions by midweek and lasting through the rest of the week.

I'll keep an eye on the developments in the coming days and throughout the weekend for any updates.

TEMPERATURES SET TO RISE INTO THE LOW 40S NEXT WEEK FOR SPAIN 🇪🇸 AND PORTUGAL 🇵🇹

If you planning a holiday to Spain or Portugal next week temperatures are set to rise into the high 30s and low 40s with extreme and dangerous heat even for these country's.

Take great care of you are in these countries next week. It will be also hot in France with temperatures into the high 30s.

Here for Ireland there is a possible chance of things warming up again around the 25th but still some uncertainty on that.

☀️☔ EL NIÑO 2026: WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR THE WORLD, EUROPE & IRELAND🌡️⚠️

Climate models are increasingly indicating the development of an El Niño pattern during 2026, a large-scale ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that occurs when sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific become warmer than average.

El Niño can significantly influence global weather patterns, often leading to more extreme and contrasting conditions around the world.

**Global Impacts**

Across the globe, El Niño may increase the likelihood of:

• Flooding and heavier rainfall across parts of the Americas and East Africa.
• Hotter and drier conditions in regions such as Australia, Indonesia, and parts of southern Africa.
• Warmer global temperatures, with an increased risk of heatwaves in some regions.
• Changes to storm tracks, affecting seasonal weather patterns and tropical cyclone activity.

**Europe Outlook**

For Europe, El Niño’s influence is often indirect but can still affect large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns.

Potential impacts may include:

• Milder than average winter temperatures in parts of western and northern Europe.
• Increased Atlantic storm activity, especially later in autumn and winter.
• Above-average rainfall risk for western regions, while southern Europe can sometimes experience more unsettled contrasts.

**Ireland & Donegal Outlook**

For Ireland, including Donegal, El Niño may favour:

🌧️ Wetter and windier conditions, particularly during autumn and winter.
🌡️ Slightly milder temperatures, reducing the risk of prolonged cold spells.
🌊 An increased flooding risk due to stronger Atlantic systems and prolonged rainfall episodes.
💨 More active storm tracks, though local weather will still depend heavily on Atlantic and North Atlantic Oscillation patterns.

**Important Note**

While El Niño can influence long-range trends, it does not determine day-to-day weather in Ireland. Forecast confidence decreases the further ahead we look, and regional outcomes may still vary.

Stay tuned for further updates as new seasonal forecast data becomes available.

Good morning! A few showers and patches of drizzle are expected this morning, but don't worry—some brighter and sunnier spells will develop. By early afternoon, the isolated showers will clear, leading to drier weather overall, with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Expect temperatures to range from 13°C to 20°C.

Tonight should be dry with clear spells for most areas. However, northern parts of Ulster, particularly North Donegal, Derry, and Antrim, might still see a few showers.

Tomorrow morning may bring a few more showers, but drier conditions are on the way with nice bright and sunny spells, although there will be a bit more cloud in the north. There's a small risk of one or two isolated showers in Donegal. Temperatures will be warmer, ranging from 14°C to 23°C, with the southern half of Ireland experiencing the warmest weather.

Looking ahead to Sunday, it looks to be a dry day with some clouds in the morning. However, bright and hazy sunshine should develop later in the morning and into the afternoon. Temperatures will range from 16°C to 24°C, with the coolest conditions along the eastern coastal areas.
