Dublin Weather: 'Indian Summer' could hit Ireland as Met Eireann forecast temperature boost similar to UK

It's going to be a misty day across the capital as Met Eireann have forecast Autumn conditions to move in over the week.

It was a mixed weekend as glorious sunshine case over Dublin on Saturday before rain and fog moved in for Sunday and parts of Monday.

Today will see top temperatures of about 17 degrees while the fog should move out leaving a bright and sunny day as it goes on.

Met Eireann said: "Early mist and shallow fog soon clearing to give a dry, bright and fairly sunny day. Top temperatures 16 or 17 C. Light variable or easterly winds will be locally moderate in any sea breezes.

"Quite cool tonight, with long clear spells and slack variable breezes. Some autumnal mists will form, with some fog in places too. Lowest temperatures 5 to 7 C.

"Wednesday will be a dry, bright and fairly sunny day. Top temperatures 16 to 19 C. - best inland. Winds light and variable, but with moderate sea breezes locally."

Things are expected to get a lot better later in the week with temperatures going up to 21 degrees on Thursday and Friday.
