It's official - we're in for a belter of a summer - because as everyone knows, the bookies never get it wrong.
BoyleSports are offering just 2/1 odds from 3/1 for Ireland’s highest ever temperature of 33.3C to be broken this year, sending the country into a frenzy of swim suits and sand castles.
As well as this, you can currently find odds of 2/1 that April 2019 will break its all-time highest temperature record of 25.8 C.
The highest temperature recorded in Ireland last April was 20C, so there is every chance that could happen.
On the flip side of that, the coldest ever temperature recorded in April saw mercury drop to -7.7C, and BoyleSports are offering 14/1 for that record to be broken. They are also offering 7/1 for April 2018 record of -5.3 C to be broken.
If the bookies are anything to go by, there will be truck-loads of sun cream used this summer, as they have slashed odds from 11/10 to 5/6 for the 2018 record temperature to be broken.

There is little difference in odds for the potential record-breaking month, with June priced at 11/8 and July priced at 6/4.
Those of you looking for pricey odds will look towards Donegal to have the highest temperature, with the county priced at 33/1. Tipperary and Clare battle for favouritism at 7/2, as Clare recorded the highest temperature last year at Shannon airport.

Sarah Kinsella, Spokesperson of BoyleSports said: “It was great to have such a lovely hot summer last year and after a mild winter, the 2/1 for Ireland to break the record of 33.3 looks pretty generous and we have had a lot of support for this.
She added: “There has also been some interest in last year’s highest temperature of 32 C being surpassed as we have had to slice the price from 11/10 into 5/6”.
