Weather phenomenon could see Ireland's heatwave last even longer
Summer sunshine is shining in earnest all across the island of Ireland, and high temperatures look set to stick around for even longer. After April saw a record high temperature recording with 25.8C clocked in Athenry, Co Galway, the fine weather has carried on into May. Temperatures across Ireland were averaging at around 23C on Friday, with parts of the west experiencing the hottest conditions. People enjoying the sunshine at St Stephen's Green in Dublin.

On the whole, Ireland is experiencing high temperatures thanks to the activity of two low pressure systems. But there is a specific weather phenomenon currently at play which is yielding such appealing weather – and it is something which means the heatwave could last beyond the end of next week.

The high pressure causes low cloud cover, meaning increased heat. Met Éireann currently say the warm temperatures will continue until at least the end of next week. That means a further 10 days or so of heavy-duty summer sunshine to kick off the season in style.
