Ireland is set to enjoy sunshine and warm temperatures as a subtropical weather phenomenon is brewing in the Atlantic.
The mercury is set to soar this week as the "Azores High" will bring a scorching heat spell to Dublin. This phenomenon will start building from the south and move across the country from Wednesday.
Met Eireann meteorologist Paul Downes told Virgin Media News: "The Azores High is in the mid-Atlantic, usually south of the Azores islands. It’s a semi-permanent high-pressure system there and you tend to see it throughout the summer.
