Tropical Storm Pablo, which was briefly declared a hurricane by the US-based National Hurricane Service on Sunday, is a historic storm as it is considered the farthest east ever a tropical cyclone reached hurricane strength over the Atlantic
On Sunday, Met Eireann meteorologist Joanna Donnelly said that “something quite interesting is happening.
"Out to the west of Iberia, we see tropical Storm Pablo. It is an intense area of low pressure sending out bands of rain. Over the next few days, it is going to try to track northwards but we have got high pressure through Sunday, Monday and much of Tuesday keeping the remnants of Tropical Storm Pablo to the south of us.
"But then, by the middle of the week, it is going to merge with a large area of low pressure and finally start to make progress up across the country into Tuesday night and into Wednesday pushing slowly eastwards during Wednesday with strong winds too.
"Now this is tropical in nature so a lot of moisture in there so some of that rain could be heavy through the midweek period.”
