IRELAND WEATHER: Another heat wave on the way with Met Eireann forecasting big rise temperatures

Ireland is in for another blast of summer this week with another heat wave on the way. 

Met Eireann is forecasting that the weather is set to get hot again with temperatures set to get as high as 29 degrees on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But enjoy it while it lasts as Met Eireann is also forecasting that the weather will break early next week.

According to Met Eireann, high pressure will continue to bring settled, mainly dry and sunny conditions. Very warm or hot as well through the rest of the week and weekend with temperatures widely in the mid to high twenties. It will be uncomfortably warm during the nights too.

But Met Eireann adds that current indications suggest that it will turn more unsettled early next week with temperatures falling back closer to average for the time of year.
