Weather in Dublin

Good evening everyone, looking ahead at our weather for the weekend in Dublin, we have an interesting mix of conditions to discuss. Stay tuned as we break down the forecast, giving you all the insights you need for any plans you might have.

Let's start with Saturday, the 11th of May. It looks like a pleasant start to the weekend with a cool and clear night transitioning into a warm day. Temperatures at midnight will start at a comfortable 12.8 degrees. For early risers, the temperature will dip slightly to about 10.6 degrees, so if you are heading out for a brisk morning walk, you might want to don a sweater.

As the sun rises, cloud cover will increase, but by 9 AM, we should see partial sunshine with the temperature climbing to a snug 16.1 degrees. So, if you have errands or if you're a cyclist keen on avoiding heavy traffic, that might be the perfect time to head out. The afternoon promises partially cloudy skies with high temperatures reaching around 20.7 degrees. The UV index peaks at 8 so don't forget sunscreen if you're planning on spending time outside. Garden enthusiasts, this is your window to get outdoors and pamper your plants!

Come evening, it will remain warm at around 18.3 degrees, but we're looking at a slight chance of rain starting from 8 PM. So, if you're dining al fresco, maybe keep a light waterproof jacket handy. Motorcyclists and drivers, keep in mind that roads may be slick, so please take care when travelling.

Moving on to Sunday, the 12th of May, it seems we are in for a wetter and cloudier day. Starting off at 13.3 degrees at midnight, it will cool down just a touch towards daybreak. Do consider a cozy raincoat or an umbrella if you're stepping out with your furry friends in the early morning, as light rain showers will be making an appearance.

By 9 AM, while the warmth returns with temperatures inching up to 15.3 degrees, we see a significant leap in precipitation probability to 35 percent. Gardeners, take note, your plants will enjoy the drink from above!

Unfortunately, by early afternoon, we expect conditions to deteriorate with heavier, more persistent rain. The temperature will hover in the mid-17s, but it's going to be damp — perfect for those indoor cafes or museums. Young mothers and elderly folks should particularly consider staying indoors to avoid slippery conditions.

If you have outdoor plans, consider postponing, as by 2 PM we're looking at "Rain, Overcast" conditions, with the rain persisting into the evening. Motorcyclists and cyclists, be extra cautious as the visibility will be reduced, and surfaces will be wet.

Lastly, as the night draws near, temperatures will drop to about 13.8 degrees by 11 PM. If you're out late, it would be wise to layer up to stay comfortable and dry. Regardless of how you choose to spend this variable weekend, make sure to be prepared and stay safe.

That's Dublin's weather forecast for the upcoming weekend. Whatever you do, make sure to enjoy it responsibly, keeping the weather in mind. Have a great weekend!
