Blustery and showery weather to dominate across Mayo this week

Conditions likely to continue unsettled across the county, according to the latest forecast.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19

Starting off blustery with a mix of scattered showers and sunny spells.

The showers will become more isolated through the morning, giving largely dry conditions for most.

Highest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees, with moderate to fresh and gusty south westerly winds easing and backing southerly towards evening.

The mobile Atlantic regime will continue to bring unsettled and mixed conditions for the remainder of this week, with further spells of rain, showers, and sunny spells all forecast.

However, current indications are that a shift to a more easterly airflow will introduce more settled and drier, but cooler, conditions as we move into next week and towards Christmas.

FRIDAY NIGHT:

Mostly dry at first apart from a few coastal showers.

However, cloud will thicken from the west through the second half of the night, with outbreaks of rain pushing into the south and west towards morning.

Lowest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees, with southerly winds increasing fresh to strong and gusty through the night.
