Temperatures could reach as high as 28 degrees this week, says Met Éireann

Met Éireann says temperatures could reach as high as 28 degrees this week, as the country is set for a warm spell.

Tuesday will be very warm with sunshine developing widely, with temperatures set to reach as high as 28 degrees.

Wednesday will be another warm and humid day with sunny spells, though showery outbreaks of rain will likely push up from the south, with some thunderstorms possible.

Temperatures will be between 21 to 25 degrees.

Thursday will also be between 21 to 25 degrees. However, Met Éireann says there will be some scattered showers.

Friday will see sunny spells with light outbreaks of rain breaking up through the day to leave longer spells of sunshine later on.

For those lucky enough to have tickets to see Oasis in Croke Park at the weekend, the warm weather is set to continue with temperatures generally in the low to mid 20s.
