Weather in Dublin

Good evening, everyone! As we look ahead to next weekend in Dublin, let's dive into what's in store for us weather-wise. We're focusing on Saturday, May 18th, and Sunday, May 19th, 2024.

Starting with Saturday, the early morning temperatures around midnight will be a cool 12.8 degrees, feeling the same, accompanied by high humidity around 91 percent. The skies will be mostly clear, which will be great if you fancy an early-morning walk or run. However, by 2 AM, we will start to see some partial cloud cover, and it will persist with clouds increasing towards dawn.

As we move into the mid-morning hours, temperatures will gradually rise from around 12.3 degrees at 6 AM, eventually reaching up to 18.5 degrees by the afternoon. The skies will be partly cloudy through most of the day, making it a good day for gardening or light outdoor activities. You might want to have a light jacket in the morning but expect to be comfortable in light clothing by midday.

The wind will be gentle early in the morning, picking up slightly as the day goes on, with gusts possibly reaching up to around 32.8 km/h. Garden enthusiasts should note that despite some light rain forecasts around 5 AM and 6 AM, it won’t be significant enough to hinder your plans. By the afternoon, particularly from 12 PM to 4 PM, the UV index will reach moderate levels (up to 4), so don’t forget your sunscreen if you plan on being outdoors for extended periods.

Now, moving into the evening hours on Saturday, temperatures will slowly cool down, settling back to around 16.4 degrees by 9 PM with clear skies returning overnight. Pet owners, now will be an ideal time for an evening stroll with your furry friends.

For our motorists and cyclists, visibility will be good throughout the day, and there’s no significant weather alert, making it safe for travel. Nonetheless, be aware of the wind, especially in the afternoon, which could impact those on two wheels.

Turning our attention to Sunday, it starts off cooler with early morning temperatures around 10.5 degrees at 4 AM, feeling quite fresh but still pleasant. As the day progresses, temperatures will rise steadily, reaching up to 19.7 degrees by mid-afternoon. Much like Saturday, Sunday will also see a fair share of partly cloudy skies throughout the day, with no significant precipitation expected. It's a continuation of mild, enjoyable weather ideal for outdoor activities, perhaps a family picnic or a bicycle ride through Phoenix Park.

Wind conditions will be similar to Saturday, with gentle morning breezes increasing slightly throughout the day. Winds will mostly blow from the western directions. Motorists should also expect good visibility, and cyclists can look forward to a fine day for a ride.

Speaking of special groups, young mothers and the elderly, please do take advantage of the milder early morning and evening temperatures for your walks. Those with pets – they’ll surely enjoy the consistently pleasant weather. Bicyclists and motorcyclists should be cautious of the slight wind gusts, especially in the afternoon.

So, wrapping up, next weekend offers us a splendid mix of partly cloudy skies and comfortable temperatures with limited rain – a near-perfect setting for all our outdoor plans. Make sure to stay hydrated, keep your skin protected, and enjoy everything that Dublin has to offer! Have a great weekend, everyone!
