Ireland is expected to record its warmest day of the year so far later this week, beating the current benchmark of 21.3C logged on April 16.
Met Eireann says thermometers could soar as high as 23C in some areas on Thursday and Friday, with temperatures in general remaining in the “high teens or low 20s” for the rest of this week and much of next week.
It comes as the area of high pressure which has brought fine conditions to Ireland over the past few days is forecast to extend towards the end of the month.
