Coastal southwest stays cooler, around 20°C, while dry, sunny spells dominate the east, though scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms lurk in the west. Light to moderate southwest winds and foggy patches on higher ground in the southwest and west add travel caution. This is unusually tropical for Ireland—with humidity at 99% and nights flirting with “tropical” thresholds. Forecasters are split on whether Dublin hits 30°C, while showers remain active in the west and northwest.
