Ireland weather: High pressure 'to dominate' as unusual November temperatures to be experienced

Frost-covered windscreens won't be a morning concern any time soon as high pressure is expected to continue over the coming weeks.

'Significantly' above-average temperatures for this time of year are forecast to persist, meaning that it will likely be December before we feel temperatures drop to freezing.

Next week is set to be predominantly settled, with dry weather and only the west experiencing the odd shower.

Today, Saturday November 2, will see limited sunny spells as it will remain mainly cloudy or overcast with the chance of patchy mist or drizzle. It will be predominantly dry, however, and very mild for this time of year with daytime highs of 15C and overnight lows of 7C.

Similar conditions are forecast for Sunday, with some sunny spells across the country and mist and drizzle mainly affecting southern and eastern areas.

Monday will also be a similar day, with mild temperatures and sunny spells breaking up the cloudy and overcast conditions.

A Met Eireann spokesperson said of next week: "High Pressure looks set to be positioned near or to the east of Ireland during the week bringing predominantly settled weather. There is the chance of occasional rain, especially in the west but overall rainfall totals are expected to be below normal. Mean air temperatures are likely to be significantly above normal for early November with frost-free conditions expected."
