Good morning, folks! It's time to get those BBQs ready as Ireland will sizzle in glorious sunshine and scorching temperatures this week.
The mercury is set to hit the as warm as low 20s later this week making Ireland as hot as Lanzarote in Spain. Ice cream weather will be in full swing as high pressure will bring dry and sunny conditions.
Today will be dry apart from residual showers early in the morning. Cloud will break up giving way to "good spells of sunshine" in the afternoon and early, Met Eireann said, with the highest temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees.
