A very mild Friday morning as we get a very brief blast of warmer air but it will turn cooler and also windy today. A damp to wet start with sunny spells extending from the Northwest but also some showers. Saturday will be breezy with sunny spells and only the odd shower.

Lot of cloud Monday with best of any sunny spells in South and East. Scattered showers with heaviest in Northwest. Still up to 20c in South but cooler further North and all areas will feel more like Autumn with cooler air from Tuesday with more showers.

One of my absolute favourite writers. If you haven't discovered Niall Williams yet, you have no idea what you are missing. His latest offering, O Now, is the fourth story in a series that starts with History of the Rain. Hunt that down, and work your way through. @christinebreen.bsky.social

Day from hell!! Had a friend come in from the states, we plan a fun day driving to Kylemore Abbey, then on to Galway. The weather was so bad we should have cancelled. We didn’t. We ended up having a car run in with a wall to avoid a bus. Just a half hour from Galway. . 🤦‍♀️

Over a relaxed hour immersed in the rainforest canopy, at one point for several minutes I was surrounded by a 'flocking': a multispecies band of small birds picking their way through the branches, in this case blue, great, coal and long-tailed tits, plus goldcrest and even treecreeper. Pure magic.

Another glorious morning and a warm day ahead but there is a risk of some nasty thunderstorms developing in the South early this evening with a risk of large hail. These could cause some local flash flooding.

Latest weather models show even warmer air over Ireland for early next week and we could see 25c possible. Good sunny spells from Sunday too but very uncertain yet if it will last for June bank holiday.
