Warm weather due today with chance of thunderstorm (we're not in for another scorcher)
THE WEATHER IS to be warm today and though there are to be scattered showers across some parts of the country, it's going to be dry for the main part.
Highest temperatures could reach between 19 and 25 degrees, and it will be hottest in the east.
We're not in for another scorcher like yesterday though, which reached 29.6 degrees, making it the hottest day in Ireland since August 2022.
The rain is more likely to come in the southwestern and western parts of the country, as it will be moving in from the Irish sea to parts of the southeast and east too.
There will be a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm for a time, according to Met Éireann.

Tonight, however, is to be dry, with a chance of thunder and rain in some places.
Expect another warm night with temperatures only dropping to between 12 and 15 degrees.
Tomorrow isn't looking as good. Highest temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees, with widespread rain showers in the afternoon in the north and northwest.
It will be a cooler, fresher, and breezier day that the weather we've been having lately.
The national outlook is for unsettled weather with mild temperatures into the next week, with temperatures generally falling at their highest points in the mid to high teens.

When the good weather is set to end, as Met Eireann warn of 'unsettled' conditions
The brief spell of spectacular weather and high temperatures is set to come to a screeching halt this weekend, Met Éireann have said. The country have been enjoying high temperatures and sunny conditions over the past few days, with Friday (June 20) being the hottest day in the country since August 22 — as the mercury soared to 29.6C in Co Roscommon. While Saturday will remain dry with cooler, albeit still warm, highs of 20C, but we're expected to return to our regularly scheduled programming of wind and rain as the weekend progresses, with low pressure systems dominating over the next week.

There will be some well scattered showers, mainly across the western half of the country, with a few turning heavy. It will be warm, however, with highs of 19C to 25C, highest in the east. Saturday night will bring a good lot of dry weather for a time with clear spells, but scattered showers will spread from the west, some turning heavy, with a slight chance of thunder.

Scattered showers will ease throughout the day with most places becoming dry by the evening along with late sunshine. Highest temperatures will range from 15C in the northwest, to 19C-20C in the south and east.
