Ireland weather: Met Eireann predict temperatures to soar to 27C but warn of thunderstorms to go with them

Met Eireann have predicted that temperatures are set to hit 27C this week as Ireland basks in an Indian summer.

However, thunderstorms are brewing as we look towards the weekend, so bring the raincoat just in case.

Just as the kids return to school, the weather is set to improve again and it will start on Monday.

We're set for a glorious couple of days following that before Mother Nature bites back on Thursday.

Here's the latest forecast from the Met Eireann boffins.

Monday

"Mist and fog will gradually clear through this morning but it will remain generally cloudy over the northern half of the country today with scattered patches of light rain and drizzle affecting Connacht and Ulster.

"Further south it will be mostly dry with sunny spells, though fog will linger along southern coasts. Warm with highest temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees, warmest in the south midlands, in a light southerly or variable breeze."

Tuesday

"Tomorrow morning will be quite misty or foggy to start but mist and fog will gradually clear to leave a dry and very warm day with long spells of sunshine. However, fog will linger along some coasts through the day. Highest temperatures of 22 to 27 degrees, warmest in the midlands, in a light east to southeast breeze."

Wednesday

"Wednesday will bring a fair amount of dry weather. However, scattered showers will develop through the day. These will become heavier and more widespread through the evening and night. Highest temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees with light to moderate southeast breezes. Heavy showers will continue overnight with temperatures of 15 or 16 degrees."

Thursday

"THURSDAY will be a showery day with widespread heavy showers and a possibility of thunderstorms and some spot flooding. Highest temperatures of 19 to 21 degrees with light southerly breezes. The showers will gradually die out during Thursday night."
