A weather expert has warned a weather "battleground" will hit Ireland next week as cold and hot air will clash.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow weather said there will likely be a "brief cold blast" next week before the hot air "wins out". He said: "Battleground scenario now for next week with cold to the North and warmth to the South.
"The cold looks like it could make it to the midlands but then get pushed back however far from certain at present. Most likely a brief cold blast before warmer air wins out."
