Hot weather will be returning to Ireland as western Europe braces for a heatwave.
With a potentially dangerous heatwave anticipated across western Europe the first week of August, Ireland is gearing up for a blast of warm weather just in time for the bank holiday weekend.
An area of high pressure above Ireland will help push a so-called plume of warm air from Spain north and east towards Ireland. Temperatures as high as 27 C (80.6 F) are expected in parts of Ireland.

"High pressure will start to build over Ireland from Thursday, bringing the warmer and drier weather,” Met Eireann, Ireland’s national weather forecaster, predicted.
However, it seems Ireland will be spared the soaring temperatures anticipated nearby.
