A weather expert has identified one section of the country that could be met with thundery rainfall at the end of the mini-heatwave.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather said the latest weather models show a risk of thundery showers around the end of the coming week and next weekend, as the high pressure loosens its grip on the country.
Ireland has been basking in temperatures of up to 25C on the west coast and 20C in the east, in what has been described as a two week mini-heatwave.
