3778: Ireland's Weather 8am Monday 26 October 2026

The weather forecast for Monday, October 26, indicates a wet and breezy start to the day, with drier spells expected as well. Conditions will remain changeable over the next few days, featuring a mix of rain, showers, and occasional brighter periods. Rain is anticipated to clear from Leinster, Munster, and East Ulster this morning, but another wave of rain will approach from the west later in the day, becoming widespread by nightfall. Localized flooding is a concern, particularly in the southwest, as winds are expected to strengthen, reaching gale force along the western and southern coasts.

Tonight's weather will be characterized by strong to near gale force winds and persistent rain, which will gradually clear northeastward, leaving behind blustery showers and the possibility of thunderstorms. Tuesday is forecasted to be blustery with a combination of sunshine and scattered showers, some of which may be heavy, especially in the west. Temperatures will feel cooler, with afternoon highs ranging from 8 to 12 degrees.

Looking ahead, Wednesday is predicted to be brighter with isolated showers, while Thursday will likely bring cloudier conditions with some rain and drizzle moving in from the west. Uncertainty surrounds Friday's forecast, but it may see outbreaks of rain primarily affecting the western regions. The weekend could see a shift towards more settled weather as higher pressure builds on Saturday, although some showers may still occur.
