Met Eireann five-day weather forecast: Ireland to have two scorchers before big change

It's going to be a beautiful week in Ireland as we get some September sun

Ireland is set for two scorching days this week before temperatures dip back towards normal by the weekend.

There will however be a return to average weather from Friday onwards with temperatures back to the mid teens.

Here's the five day forecast from Met Eireann;

Monday

"Monday will be quite warm and humid. The eastern half of the country will remain mostly dry with some hazy sunshine. However, it will be mostly cloudy, with showery rain developing in places, mainly in west Munster, Connacht and west Ulster, but a few showers may develop in other areas later.

"Remaining warm and humid, with maximum temperatures of 18 to 22 degrees, in mostly light to moderate southeast breezes."

Tuesday

"Tuesday will be warm, humid and mostly cloudy with scattered showers. The showers will be mainly over the western half of the country and the best of any sunny intervals will be in the east. Highest temperatures of 18 to 23 degrees, warmest in Leinster with light variable breezes."
