Weather in Dublin

As we look ahead to tomorrow, Saturday, December 21st, in Dublin, we're anticipating a mix of overcast skies, rain, and some breaks with partial cloud coverage. The day will kick off with a chill as morning temperatures start around 7.9 degrees, but it will feel slightly cooler at 5 degrees. As the clock ticks into the early morning hours, a light rain is expected to make its entrance, with an 80% chance of precipitation. Humidity will hover around 80%, increasing slightly as we approach dawn.

Wind gusts will be notable throughout the day, peaking at over 80 kilometers per hour in the early morning hours, so for those of us who are motorcyclists or planning to cycle, it might be wise to exercise caution. Winds will predominantly come from the west-southwest, adding a chill to the air despite temperatures increasing progressively through the morning.

Temperatures will climb, reaching a peak of around 11.4 degrees by mid-morning, with the accompanying feels-like temperatures aligned at the same mark, courtesy of the humid conditions prevailing at around 84%. By late morning to around noon, we will experience a brief respite from the heavier cloud cover, as skies seem to part bringing a partially cloudy view, along with periods of light drizzle.

In the afternoon and into the evening, temperatures will gradually drop back down to 5.6 degrees by nightfall. Humidity remains steady, reflecting a damp environment throughout the day. For travelers, especially car drivers, maintaining vigilance with reduced visibility and potential wet roads is crucial. Garden enthusiasts might find the day too wet for activities, although the rain can be beneficial during this dormant season.

For young mothers and the elderly, staying warm and dry should be a priority as the persistent dampness and cooling temperatures could be uncomfortable. Dog owners may want to plan those longer walks around the less rainy periods and ensure their pets are well-protected against the elements.

By nighttime, the weather appears to stabilize slightly with the continuation of partially cloudy skies laying claim well into Sunday morning. In summary, tomorrow presents itself as a day of intermittent rain and cooler breezes with the occasional clearer sky. Dressing in layers with a waterproof top layer will serve us well against this unpredictable weather as we go about our Saturday plans.
