Ireland heatwave hopes blown as ‘short lived' warm blast pinpointed amid new ‘weekend washout' Met Eireann forecast
HOPES of a heatwave hitting Ireland in the coming weeks have been dashed - with the country instead bracing for more rain. And even when the weather heats up slightly - it doesn't look likely to last. 3 There are no heatwave predictions in the coming weeks Credit: meteireann 3 A small blast of hot air is predicted Credit: facebook Last month, prolonged sunny spells saw 25C heat bake down across the country - leaving many with hopes that summer was here to stay. But meteorologists have warned that another heatwave is unlikely to be on the cards until later in the season. Although a warm blast of air will sweep near the country, it's not yet known how much of it will actually reach Ireland. And forecasts indicate that regardless of how much of it hits the island, the warm spell will be short lived.

Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather said: "Weather models showing a very brief blast of warm air over Ireland this day next week but models differ on how much of it reaches Ireland.
