Temperatures of up to 27 degrees on Saturday but Oasis fans may have showers to contend with
The sun will shine this weekend, to quote the band of the moment, Oasis , with lots of hot and humid weather across the country. Temperatures on Saturday will reach between 25 and 27 degrees in inland areas and in the midwest, setting up thunderstorms in the evening along the west coast. It will feel milder along the south and east coasts with sea breezes keeping the temperature between 20 and 22 degrees. For those going to see Oasis in Croke Park on Saturday and Sunday night, there is a slight chance of showers. However, overall they will be balmy summer evenings with temperatures at 20 degrees on Saturday night. Sunday will be notably cooler in Dublin, but it will still be between 17 and 18 degrees come concert time.

Sunday will be a similar day to Saturday elsewhere, with the highest temperatures in the western half of the country.

Status orange forest fire warning issued as Met Éireann forecasts hot weekend conditions
A forest fire warning has been issued ahead of the weekend with landowners urged to 'immediately' implement fire prevention plans. The status orange alert was announced by the Department of Agriculture on Friday afternoon. It comes amid forecasts predicting temperatures ranging from 20 to 26 degrees. Visitors to forests, parks, beaches and other recreation areas are asked not to bring barbecues and other sources of ignition to such areas. READ MORE Those parking vehicles have also been asked to be mindful of potential access needs for emergency services. In its alert, the department recommended 'forest owners act immediately to implement fire prevention plans and be prepared for the likelihood of fire outbreaks on or around their property, especially those with public access. 'High levels of vigilance are required at this point.' The farming community has been requested to be particularly careful with machinery around hay meadows and crop harvesting that may pose a risk of fire by overheating. 'People need to be mindful of fire risk when visiting our forests, parks and beaches this weekend,' said Minister of State Michael Healy-Rae. 'Leave the barbecue at home, and be considerate when parking at venues. Do not block gates, barriers and keep emergency access routes clear in case these are needed in an emergency.' Firefighters from Dublin Fire Brigade have been continuing to fight a gorse wildfire at Ticknick in Cherrywood since Tuesday night. The Department monitors forest fires risks in conjunction with Met Éireann, and has already issued eight previous danger notices this year in response to high-risk weather phases. Wildfires have been fanning out around Europe in recent weeks. Ireland has been on the outer edge of a so-called 'heat dome', a large area of high pressure drawing in warm, dry air over continental Europe . High temperatures have been predicted for the weekend, with warmest conditions anticipated in the midlands and south of the country, Met Éireann has said. Friday night will be largely dry and clear with mild and humid conditions set to continue over the weekend. It will be breezier in Munster on Saturday with moderate winds and thicker cloud pushing in from the southwest to other areas, bringing scattered showers. [ When does a warm spell become heatwave? Opens in new window ] The showers will edge further north-eastward over parts of Connacht and southwest Leinster in the evening. Met Éireann said Saturday night would be 'very mild and muggy' with temperatures no lower than 14 to 17 degrees. [ Warm summer making work 'really hard' in hot kitchens, say chefs Opens in new window ] Sunday will be another warm day with highest temperatures of 19 to 25 degrees.
