Warm weather for back to school, with temperatures up to 26 degrees

Tuesday will also be a warm day, with a few scattered showers.

TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE country are set to reach 26 degrees Celsius this week, as most children start the new school year.

Met Éireann has said that any mist or fog from last night will soon clear to leave another warm day with mostly sunny skies and top temperatures of between 22 and 26 degrees.

Tonight will be warm and humid with mostly clear skies. Later on, some showers may move into the southwest. Some mist and fog could develop across Ulster.

Tuesday will be another warm day. While it will be mostly sunny, a few scattered showers are likely, especially in the west and southwest. Top temperatures will be between 22 to 26 degrees again, warmest away from east and south coasts.

It won’t be quite as sunny as the week goes on, with cloud building at times, producing scattered and some heavy showers. However, it’ll still be very warm and humid on Wednesday. Some thundery showers will occur, with the east and southeast most at threat.

Thursday and Friday will see more showers.

    Poor Kids had a terrible summer, especially primary school, rained the whole month of July. August wasn’t much better, and the week they go back to school we have a heat wave.

    @Gerard Carey: That is the typical Irish summer. Glorious weather in May and first half of June – exam weather! – then the rain starts as the exams are over. Deluge for July and most of August. Kids back in school and lo and behold

    @Gerard Carey: the kids…blah blah blah!
    Not everything revolves around the little F trophies!
    (Unless of course that’s what your world revolves around, then it’s a pretty sad one!)

    @Gerard Carey: Teachers can take groups on outdoor nature study trips. Must wear hats and not get hands cut in bramble thickets.

    Basically just the Irish Winter teasing us before Winter sets in, showing us what we could have had, were we to have a decent Summer.
