But more good weather is just around the corner.

The national forecaster warns that temperatures could drop significantly throughout the next few days as Ireland experiences “cooler than average” conditions.
It is set to continue “fairly cool” throughout the week, with a “good lot of dry weather” and some northerly showers.
High pressure will also play “a more dominant role” entering next week, with temperatures set to rise with it.
Today, Tuesday, June 4, will see some sunshine and scattered showers, with temperatures from 12 to 17C.

Thursday will bring a mix of cloud and some good spells of sunshine. There’ll be some scattered showers, most frequent in Ulster, a few heavy. The showers will be more isolated elsewhere. Highest temperatures 12 to 15 degrees in mostly moderate westerly winds.
Mainly dry at first on Thursday night with clear spells and a few isolated showers. Some uncertainty in the timing, but a spell of rain will move in from the west at some stage with on Thursday night or early Friday, with clear spells and scattered showers to follow.
Lowest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees in light to moderate winds backing southerly ahead of the rain and veering westerly as the rain clears.
