Another record setting month of weather could be ahead for Ireland as bookmakers say odds have been slashed on the chance of record temperatures and rainfall.
With Met Eireann's monthly forecast predicting low pressure but a possibility of higher than average temperatures throughout the month of September, there could be good signs ahead. It seems that punters are thinking the same even though Electric Picnic this weekend is expected to be a washout.
Ladbrokes has slashed odds from 5/1 to evens that this coming September will be the hottest in recorded history. At the same time they've also cut odds that we'll have the wettest September on record to 3/1.
