This week has seen the warm weather blasting Ireland continue alongside some of the first weather warnings for quite some time.
While Ireland may be looking forward to a June with some pretty decent temperatures, reaching up to 25C in some parts of the country this weekend, the national forecaster has warned that showers and isolated thunderstorms will once again dominate the weekend.
Here is Met Eireann’s forecast for the weekend:

Scattered showers will continue during Saturday and after a largely cloudy start, sunny spells will develop in between the showers during the afternoon and evening.
Some of the showers will be heavy and isolated thunderstorms and spot flooding will be possible. Highest temperatures of 19C to 22C with a light to moderate south to southeast wind.
