Cork is set for a chilly but mostly dry bank holiday weekend, with sunny spells on Saturday and Sunday. Expect frosty mornings and a chance of drizzle.
This Thursday morning, the weather looks promising for the weekend. Most of us in the South West can expect some sunshine on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday should be particularly bright, but it will feel quite cold.
Temperatures will struggle to reach double digits. We might see frosty mornings as February kicks in, with overnight lows around freezing. If you’re heading to the Cork vs. Limerick game on Saturday evening, it should stay dry, but dress warmly!
There’s a 35% chance of drizzle on Saturday night, and temperatures will drop to about 8°C.
While it’s chilly in Cork, around 100,000 homes in the midlands and Connacht are still without power and water. They’re hoping for repairs over the weekend.
