Temperatures will be slightly below normal all week, with average highs of 16 to 19 degrees Celsius.

The dreary forecast follows a weekend of torrential downpours across many eastern parts of the State due to the tail end of Hurricane Bertha. It resulted in flooding at Howth, Co Dublin and on the M1 motorway.
Northern England and Scotland will continue to feel the effects of ex-Hurricane Bertha today as stormy conditions and winds up to 80km/ph are forecast.
While Wales and southern England were left drenched yesterday, it is the turn of northern parts to endure the unpleasant conditions today.
By early this morning the town of Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland had recorded almost a month’s rainfall in 12 hours, while Aberdeenshire saw gusts of 80 km/ph.
The UK’s environment agency has issued six flood warnings, indicating flooding is expected, and 47 flood alerts across England and Wales, while the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has 12 flood alerts in place.
