THE FORECASTERS AT Met Eireann are predicting the weather will remain warm and sunny this coming weekend but that the high temperatures will also mean hot, humid nights.
Friday and Saturday nights will see temperatures range from 11 to 16 degrees, with Saturday in particular expected to be “quite oppressively warm and humid,” the forecaster said.
Today and tomorrow are to remain warm and sunny, with some cloud and the chance of the odd shower. Overall, temperatures will be between 19 and 24 degrees today and similar tomorrow.
All in all, the weather is to remain dry and warm until Saturday morning, when “some showery rain is expected to start moving into the south and move up across the country later on Saturday introducing a slightly more showery but quite humid airmass.”
The midwest is set to get the hottest temperatures on Friday, with the mercury likely to hit highs of 25 degrees, while Connacht is predicted to be the warmest area of the country on Saturday afternoon, where temperatures could also reach 25 degrees.
Sunday holds the same “muggy” conditions in store as well, according to Met Eireann.
“Winds will be mostly light and variable, offering little relief from the humid conditions and highest temperatures of 21 to 24 degrees.”
Next week would appear to have something similar in store as Met Eireann predicts the weather to stay warm into early next week with sunny spells but also the possibility of some thundery showers. Highest temperatures are expected to remain in the low to mid-twenties.

Oppressively Warm is environmentalist speak for lovely weather ahead this weekend.
They really are such a hap hap happy bunch of non-doomsday and rational thinking folk (not)
What a load of tosh.. A weather warning for night time temperatures of between 11 and 16 degrees for a few days.. Although the weather has been warm lately there has been a persistent cool eastern breeze and it’s making the evening very cool.. A weather warning for not even normal summer weather..
A big angry looking sun as the caption photo!
Effing pathetic. And to think of all the gullible eejits devouring this garbage. 11 to 16 degrees in the middle of June, omg!!
@HP M: at night.
Thank god. Tired of cold weather. The cold Spring was a drag. C’mon global warming do your job.
Come back Evelyn Cusack all is forgiven.
Humidity – which is the amount of water vapour in the air – and ground temperature are not interlinked. So, you can have a relatively low temperature like sixteen degrees but very high humidity levels at the same time. This is what makes for muggy conditions when people complain about it being very “close”. You don’t need a degree in meteorology to understand this.
Its called summer, has happened before.
Not falling for this “Met Éireann”. We all know you’re in the pocket of Big Weather. George Soros. Bill Gates etc…
Quick, kill some cows to bring it down
A night time temperature of 11 degrees… you’d need a light jacket at that temperature! Oppressively warm! What a joke
have your say
