Ireland storm forecast as massive rain wall looms before epic weather turnaround

Ireland is braced for a weather rollercoaster as stormy conditions sweep the country before an epic turnaround.

Weather maps show a ‘wall of rain’ covering Ireland on Friday and Saturday which could last continually for up to 72 hours.Irish weather expert Alan O’Reilly is monitoring the models, which he explained are subject to change this far out. The national forecaster says it could turn warmer for the weekend with temperatures surging into the low 20s.

Its long range forecast for that week reads: “On week 3, confidence in the forecast decreases. There is a weak signal for high pressure building nearby, leading to above average temperatures for mid-July, along with drier than average conditions, especially for the eastern half of the country.” “Tuesday will be another day of sunny spells and heavy showers, merging into some intense spells of rain, especially later across the east and northeast. Chance of lightning and hail too with spot flooding. However, it will gradually become drier in the west and northwest. Highest temperatures will once again range 15C to 18C in moderate, occasionally fresh west to northwest winds.
