There was a fire down behind the Market House in the western skies on Sunday evening and Castleisland and its neighbours basked in its glow and promise.
And, according to the Met Éireann weather forecast, it’s going to continue mostly dry and bright and warm for the rest of the week .
This Monday morning September 16th will start with some mist or fog patches but they will clear quickly in the morning to leave a dry day with sunny spells. It’ll become a little cloudier further west, with perhaps the odd spot of drizzle at times along the west coast. Highest temperatures 17 to 21 degrees in mostly light southeast to south breezes.
Warm and Largely Dry
The national outlook is for a warm and largely dry day with bright or sunny spells and temperatures in the high teens to low 20s.
Monday night will be mainly dry with clear spells in many areas. It will be somewhat cloudier in parts of the west and northwest with perhaps one or two spots of drizzle. Lowest temperatures ranging from eight degrees in the southeast to 13 or 14 degrees in the northwest with light southerly or variable breezes.
It’s Good for the Week
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will all be largely dry with bright or sunny spells and highest temperatures of 17 to 21 or 22 degrees. Light to moderate east to southeast winds will mean that it will be coolest in the east and warmest in the midlands and west.
The nights will be dry with clear spells and some patches of mist or fog possible. Lowest temperatures will range from about 7 to 11 degrees.
For next weekend the current indications suggest that there will be a greater possibility of showers with temperatures dropping back to the mid to high teens.
New Footpaths Thirst Slaked
And our newly poured footpaths had their thirsts slaked by Saturday evening’s / night’s downpour of lovely soft rain which is so important to their curing process. The work, which began a couple of weeks ago, at the corner of Old Church Lane is now progressing to mid Main Street leaving bands of pristine, white, chewing gum free footpaths in its wake.
