Saturday, 12 July, 2014 Forecasts for Ireland Astronomy note: Full moon occurs today at 12:25 summer time, but you would need to be in the Pacific regions to see it during the overnight hours, for yours truly the event takes place around sunrise. As the Moon will soon be at perigeee, this is considered a supermoon although the August 10th event is even closer. TODAY ... Mostly cloudy and some of the cloud will be quite low-based giving mist and fog over some higher terrain, then a few brighter intervals possible mid-day in the inland south, with outbreaks of light rain developing in two pulses with the partial clearing possible mid-day between these pulses, highs near 20 C. TONIGHT ... Light showers ending, partial clearing, lows 11-14 C. SUNDAY ... Feeling a bit fresher in a moderate westerly breeze, passing showers developing by afternoon more frequent in west, with highs 18-20 C. There could be some decent sunshine with isolated heavier showers possibly becoming thundery. MONDAY ... Cloudy west, increasing cloud east, showers developing with some heavier rain possible in north by evening, highs near 21 C. TUESDAY ... Gradual clearing, after some morning showers, highs near 21 C and possibly warmer in parts of west Munster (23-24 C). WEDNESDAY ... Hazy sunshine, risk of low cloud or light rain confined to parts of west and north, very warm and humid with lows 12-16 C and highs 21-25 C. THURSDAY ... Continued very warm with isolated showers or thunderstorms developing, lows 14-18 C and highs 22-27 C. FRIDAY ... Showers or thunderstorms in a few locations, very warm. Highs near 24 C. FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Around next weekend it may turn slightly cooler again with more widespread showers, highs 19-23 C. These trends will generally apply in Britain although some parts of southern England could see highs closer to 30 C by mid-week. A pulse of heavy thunderstorms may move in from France towards the end of the week. My local weather on Friday continued sunny and hot with highs 28-32 C in the city and 35-40 C further inland. Some daily records are being set around the province. -- Peter ODonnell for IWO
