There’s finally some good weather news as Met Éireann predict a scorcher for tomorrow.

The national forecaster has predicted that this Thursday will be “warm with highs of 16 to 19 degrees, and in good sunny spells some places may reach 20 degrees. Light winds will be southerly or variable”.

Met Éireann spokesman Harm Luijkx said “after our recent spell of low pressure, there are strong signals that a period of high pressure is building.

“On Thursday temperatures will be high throughout the country, mostly in the high teens.

“It could even get up to 20C – which is a couple of degrees above average for this time of year.

“The sun will continue on Friday, with temperatures in the high teens. It won’t be quite as hot as Thursday but there will be dry sunny spells for most of the day”.

However, the weekend isn’t quite as favourable and rain is likely to make a return according to the national forecaster.

Mr Luijkx said: “Unfortunately it will begin to deteriorate on Saturday.

“It will be much cooler and there will be outbreaks of rain, particularly in the west”.
