Summer in October? We'll take it.
Met Éireann have predicted that we may get a brief reprieve from the miserable weather we've been having lately with a lovely sunny day set to arrive at the end of the week.
In the national forecast this morning, it was predicted that Saturday, October 7, will see temperatures rise into the 20s, with sunny spells dominating most areas of the country.
Met Éireann pinpoint day temperatures are set to soar this week.
Unfortunately for the north and west of
Ireland, there may be some patchy rain, but hopefully everyone can enjoy some late summer conditions throughout the day.
We will, however, have to enjoy it while it lasts because, in the same forecast, it looks like Sunday will see a return to cooler conditions and rain tracking across the country.
Backing up the forecast, Alan O'Reilly of
Carlow Weather has also said that this coming Saturday is set to be a glorious one saying that "BBQ Saturday looks to be on!"
