Met Éireann confirms how long Ireland’s current heatwave is set to last

"Temperatures dropping slightly back to maybe late teens, early 20s, as we go towards the end of the week and the weekend, but lots of sunshine for most people across the country, so get out there and enjoy it while you can," she added.

"It's going to continue for the next week as well. We'll just have slight incursions of those low-pressure systems that are bringing those showers up over the southern part for the next few days.

"But it looks in the forecast for the next ten days that we will have sunny high pressure with those temperatures late teens to early 20s."
