Ireland's mini-heatwave ends with approaching rainstorm

Ireland enjoyed a warm and dry spell recently, especially during St. Patrick's Day. Many took advantage of the mild temperatures, which reached the mid-to-high teens. However, this pleasant weather is about to change. Met Eireann, Ireland's national weather service, has issued a warning about a powerful rainstorm. This storm will arrive from the southwest, starting Friday. While temperatures may rise slightly in the coming days, it won't be enough to prevent the heavy rain. The weather will start shifting on Friday night, with widespread rain expected into Saturday. Another wave of rain is forecast for Sunday night into Monday, along with gusty winds. Before the rain arrives, the weather will be mostly dry on Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures ranging from 11°C to 16°C. However, a significant change will begin on Friday, bringing showers and lower temperatures. Overall, the forecast indicates an unsettled weekend ahead, with more rain and scattered showers.
