Ireland is set to be as hot as Lanzarote this week as sizzling temperatures continue to hold in the midst of a two-week mini-heatwave.
This Monday morning will see temperatures of up to 22C in the west of Ireland, in what is the first day of a week which will see temperatures soar into the mid 20s going into the June Bank Holiday weekend.
While a little cooler in the east of the country, weather expert Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather said: "Another cracker of a morning with a glorious day ahead."
