We basked in Advertisement 3 Temperatures could reach up to 22C tomorrow Credit: Meteologix 3 Ireland could warm up for the second half of our summer Credit: EPA/TOLGA AKMEN Looking at the week ahead, Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly told how Ireland has returned to its more He said: "A rollercoaster of temperatures over the coming 10 days with some brief pulses of warmer air over Ireland but doesn't stay long."

Advertisement READ MORE IRISH NEWS And despite the week ahead He explained: "While seasonal forecasts remain rather difficult to produce there are signs emerging if one reads a little deeper into the sea surface temperatures across the Atlantic that we won't see a repeat of the past two overcast and rather disappointing summers, with a higher chance of more settled conditions taking hold for the second half of the summer. "This is well represented in the latest ECMWF sub-seasonal forecast with a clear trend towards more settled conditions with high pressure from the middle of July onwards. "Indeed the red bars indicate the preference for a blocked pattern, with high pressure building either across or to the northeast of the country, ensuring warmer sunnier conditions."

Northern Ireland records first heatwave in two years
A SUDDEN burst of heat has swept across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, bringing record-breaking conditions. Northern Ireland officially recorded its first heatwave in nearly two years, with Castlederg in County Tyrone hitting 25°C on Saturday after highs of 29°C and 25°C on the two days prior. The region also saw its warmest June night ever, with temperatures in Aldergrove not dropping below 18°C. However, the heat was short-lived, as cooler air is expected to return with temperatures falling to the mid-teens and showers moving in. Much the same is expected in the rest of Ireland. Met Éireann said its overview: 'It'll continue changeable and mixed for the rest of the week, with some rain at times, but drier sunnier interludes too.' 'It'll be relatively mild and it'll be humid at times, with the warmest conditions in the south and east. Breezy at times too.' Experts warn that Ireland's high humidity and lack of cooling infrastructure make the heat feel more intense and potentially hazardous. Meteorologists explain that humidity reduces the body's ability to cool through sweating, making warm nights especially uncomfortable and risky. Health warnings have been issued, urging people to stay cool, hydrated, and to check on vulnerable groups. See More: Heatwave, Irish Weather, Met Eireann
