Back in Ireland, next week will start off with a mix of cloud and sunny spells and the odd rain shower, before mainly warm and dry conditions return.
Met Éireann said high pressure is likely to become dominant through the latter part of the week, mitigating the chance of further showers and re-establishing mainly fine and settled conditions.
Daytime temperatures will be in high teens or low 20s, well above average for the time of year.
