From Tuesday to Friday there will also be the risk of Thunderstorm in parts of Ireland due to warm and humid conditions coming from the continent.

The reason there will be thunderstorms

Next week the Jetstream will move northwards from Ireland and the UK and as it does, so it moves between a upper low north of Scandinavia and a upper high over Scandinavia. Instead of the jet stream moving on eastwards it wraps around the Upper low over Scandinavia back towards Ireland and the UK. This is known as Anti Cyclonic disruption.

Upper High over Scandinavia at the start of next week with a upper low over Europe allowing that much warmer and humid air move towards west Europe

Over Europe sits another upper low which has lead to severe thunderstorms over a large part of Europe already this week and with the Anti Cyclonic disruption over Scandinavia this allows the upper low in Europe to drift closer with warm and humid conditions that will trigger of thunderstorms over Ireland, England and Wales.
