As Ireland marks the beginning of meteorological summer on June 1, forecasters have issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Galway, Mayo, and Kerry. The warning alerts residents to heavy rainfall and strong winds, with risks of flooding and poor visibility. Despite the seasonal shift, Ireland is experiencing continued unsettled weather. Meteorologist Rebecca Cantwell noted the disappointing start to summer, with varying weather expected. Those attending public events should prepare for rain, while temperatures remain between 13 to 18 °C with a mix of sun and showers.
"So, it's the first day of meteorological summer, and unfortunately it isn't quite starting out as we hope the summer will go," meteorologist Rebecca Cantwell said on Met Éireann's morning forecast.
Forecasters have issued a Status Yellow rain warning for Galway, Mayo and Kerry for Monday afternoon and evening, warning of 'heavy rain with very strong, gusty southerly winds near the coast.'
The warning comes as June 1 marks the start of the meteorological summer, but Ireland seems to have not received the memo as the recent spell of unsettled weather continues.
Anyone heading to the Women's Mini Marathon, the penultimate day of Bloom or one of the many football championship games up and down the country should pack an umbrella and bring the good coat.
