☀️ POTENTIALLY SOMETHING WARMER ON THE HORIZON 🔥
☀️ I've been keeping a close watch on the longer-range weather models for the past few weeks. As I mentioned in last week's update, there are indications of warmer conditions developing from late May into early June. The ECMWF model, which is quite reliable, has shown signs of a high-pressure system building over Ireland around the 3rd week and towards the last week of May. This could lead to airflow from the east to northeast, pushing temperatures into the mid-20s.
Now, the question is whether this trend continues with additional weather models coming in. The GFS model isn't quite aligned with the warmer forecast yet, so we may have to wait a few days for verification and if this does develop.
The timeframe for this warmer spell is expected to develop at some stage between the 3rd week of May and the bank holiday weekend at the end of May into early June.
I'll keep you posted on any developments in the coming week.
