Met Éireann forecasts heatwave will continue into next weekend

The present heatwave is expected to go well into next weekend according to Met Éireann.

It has been dry and bright on Bank Holiday Monday, but patchy cloud will continue to develop in the afternoon and evening, notably in the northwest, and there is a possibility of one or two isolated showers.

Tomorrow will be another generally dry and sunny day. Once again, cloud will bubble up in the afternoon and evening, mostly in the west with an isolated shower or two possible.

Highest temperatures generally of 19 to 24 degrees but a little cooler near eastern coasts in a light to moderate easterly breeze.

 High pressure will continue to dominate weather this week, keeping things generally dry and warm with plenty of sunshine.

Tuesday night: Yet another dry and generally clear night. Lowest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees in a light easterly breeze.

Wednesday: Staying dry and sunny for most though with the chance of a light shower in Ulster. Highest temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees for most. The east and northeast will be slightly cooler with highs of 16 to 19 degrees in light to moderate easterly winds.

Wednesday night: Dry and clear overnight. Lowest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in a light easterly breeze.

Thursday: Remaining dry with hazy sunshine across the country. Some patchy cloudy is possible in the southwest later. Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees in Leinster and east Ulster, and of 20 to 23 degrees elsewhere, in light to moderate easterly winds.

Friday: Most of the country will stay dry on Friday with spells of hazy sunshine. However, it is possible that it will be cloudier at times in the south and southwest with the chance of some patchy rain and drizzle. Highest temperatures of 17 to 22 degrees, warmest in the west, in moderate easterly winds.

Next weekend will be warm with temperatures in the high teens or low twenties. There is uncertainty in the forecast as yet but there is a chance that some showers will move across the country from the south.
