Welcome return of summer weather

Highest temperatures of 21 to 25 degrees, in a light east to northeast breeze

Mist in many places has begun to shift as the morning progresses, as forecasters predict a dry and very warm day with long spells of sunshine ahead.

“A little cloudier in the west and southwest at times. Some mist and fog patches may linger near northeastern and eastern coasts. Highest temperatures of 21 to 25 degrees, in a light east to northeast breeze,” says Met Eireann.

Tonight meanwhile will be dry with “good clear spells”.

Patches of mist or fog will though develop overnight, where lowest temperatures will fall to only 9 to 14 degrees.

Thursday then is expected to be another warm and dry day, with good spells of sunshine developing after any early morning mist and fog clears.

Highest temperatures of 21 to 25 or 26 degrees, “warmest away from eastern and northern coasts with light northeast breezes”.
