Weather in Dublin


As we approach the first day of August, which is a Friday this year, Dublin promises to offer a mix of partly cloudy and overcast skies throughout the day. Starting off the early hours, from midnight until around 6 AM, the temperatures will hover between 14.8 and 11.2 degrees. The feels-like temperature mimics the actual readings, indicating a mild night. With humidity levels ranging from the low 60s to mid-80s, there might be a slight chill in the air due to the dew point positioning around 9 degrees, so a light jacket could be handy if you're stepping out.
Precipitation probability isn’t substantial, suggesting no rainfall as the skies remain partially cloudy, but a notable wind gust reaching up to 30 kilometers per hour around midnight might make it feel cooler than the temperature suggests. Car drivers and motorcyclists should be mindful of these gusts while on the road. The rest of the morning progresses with minimal cloud cover and increasing temperatures, reaching up to 16.9 degrees by noon steadily.
As the day continues, an overcast sky will establish itself from midday until early evening, with moments of partial clearing around 1 PM and later in the evening. During this period, temperatures will peak around 19.9 degrees, combined with a moderate breeze from the northwest. It’s a comfortable day, ideal for a light stroll, but with enough cloud cover to warrant checking on the temperature change throughout the day.
For those sensitive to changes in pressure or cloud cover, such as the elderly or those with migraines, today's pressure remains stable around 1021 millibars, transitioning slightly to 1020 in the latter part of the day. UV exposure is noticeably low all day. Hence, sun protection isn't explicitly necessary, allowing our garden enthusiasts to tend to their plants without the concern of too much direct sunlight.
Pet owners can enjoy walks without much concern about UV rays but should consider the dew points and humidity when gauging how comfortable our furry companions might feel. As evening draws in, temperatures begin to drop back to 16 degrees by 11 PM, accompanied by a persistent overcast, a good reminder for those outdoors to have a suitable layer for the gradual evening chill.
Overall, we have a largely dry day where the weather remains cooperative for most activities. For bikers, the consistent cloud cover means a worry-free ride without sun glare, and our gardening and outdoor crowd can enjoy a day without rain interruptions. Enjoy the varied skies, and let’s take advantage of a day that, while not bright sun-filled, offers a stable and pleasant atmosphere to usher in the new month.
