After a rare stretch of warmth that briefly lifted Irish spirits, the island now turns back toward its more familiar rhythms. Met Éireann has signalled a significant shift this week, with low pressure reclaiming the skies and above-average rainfall expected to test the north and east in particular. The weeks that follow offer a modest reprieve before the forecast dissolves into the honest uncertainty that defines the edge of the Atlantic. Ireland, as ever, reminds its people that fine weather is a visitor, not a resident.

Consumers may experience reduced outdoor leisure spending this week due to poor weather, but improved conditions from May 20-26 could boost tourism, hospitality, and recreational spending. Farmers face potential crop stress from heavy rainfall, which could affect food prices. Higher rainfall may increase utility costs for some households.
Potential need for flood management and water resource planning given above-average rainfall warnings. Agricultural support may be required if heavy rainfall damages crops. Tourism boards may need to adjust promotional campaigns based on weather patterns. Infrastructure maintenance budgets may need adjustment for drainage and flood prevention.
