We’ve had a mixed bag so far this “summer”, but it appears enough is enough and we’re finally in line for a scorcher over the coming week.
Ireland is going to be hotter than Barcelona next week, as temperatures are set to hit a sizzling 22C starting this weekend.
Although the weekend will start off showery on Saturday, temperatures will begin to climb fast at beginning of Sunday morning.
Tonight and tomorrow will see the occasional heavy shower inland, Met Eireann weather chiefs say that the mercury will be going one way and one way only, and that’s start to rise fast early Monday.
Predictions of early to mid 20s have been forecast, with balmy night temperatures taking hold from mid week.
