If you hate humid weather, then you might want to stay indoors this week.

Yep, it’ll still be hot… but it’ll also be wet and cloudy, so you know it’s not the most ideal situation.

According to Met Éireann, showers will increase, with fog and mist descending on Monday.

“Remaining showers becoming increasingly confined to northern and northeastern areas on Monday evening and it will be dry countrywide for a time on Monday night with clear spells.

“Cloud will thicken in the west and northwest with rain arriving before dawn in the coastal fringes of Connacht and west Ulster. Mist and fog patches will form in the light west to southwest breezes. Lows ranging 11 to 15 degrees.”

While on Tuesday we’ll see, “mostly cloudy in Connacht, Ulster and west Munster on Tuesday with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Generally dry conditions further south and east with some sunshine. Still humid with top temperatures ranging from around 18 degrees in the Atlantic coastal fringes to 24 degrees in parts of the south and east.”

The rest of the week will have “a cooler showery regime is likely to become established during Thursday and Friday. Some of the showers could be heavy with a risk of thundery downpours at times but there will be spells of sunshine too. Westerly winds will be fresh and gusty in the north. Maximum temperatures dropping down into the mid to high teens, accompanied by some cooler nights.”
