Met Eireann Ireland weather forecast 'tropical airmass' heatwave pinpointing hottest days

Met Eireann is forecasting a 'tropical airmass' heatwave this week pinpointing the hottest days of the year.

Temperatures will not drop below 21C between now and the weekend with Friday even seeing highs of 23C.

This is thanks to a tropical airmass hitting Ireland which Met Eireann has confirmed will continue into early next week.

Met Eireann said: "It'll feel quite humid this week as a tropical maritime airmass becomes established over Ireland. This airmass will bring a good deal of cloud & moisture, but where the sun breaks through it'll feel warm."

Here's how the next few days are looking according to Met Eireann:

Today: "On Wednesday, there will be a mix of cloud and sunshine. It will be mostly dry but there is a chance of some patchy light rain or drizzle developing at times. It will be a warm and humid day with temperatures reaching around 21 degrees, in a moderate to fresh southerly breeze."

Tonight: "It will be mostly cloudy with isolated patches of light rain or drizzle. It will be another warm and humid night with lowest temperatures of 13 or 14 degrees, in a moderate southerly breeze."

Thursday: "It will be warm, humid and breezy with a mix of cloud and sunshine. It will be mostly dry but there is a chance of some outbreaks of light rain or drizzle at times. Highest afternoon temperatures of 21 or 22 degrees in a moderate to fresh south to southwest breeze."

Friday: "The morning will start off rather cloudy with patchy rain and drizzle but it will become drier through the day with sunny spells developing. Feeling fresher than recent days too with moderate westerly winds. Afternoon temperatures will range between 15 degrees in the northwest to 22 degrees in the southeast."

Saturday: "It is looking warm and dry with long spells of sunshine. Highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees, but a little cooler along the west coast where it may be a little cloudier at times. Winds will be light and southerly or variable in direction."

Sunday: "It will be a cloudier and less warm day generally, with scattered outbreaks of rain moving eastwards. Maximum temperatures of 15 to 22 degrees, warmest in the southeast, with light to moderate westerly winds."
