Tuesday will be warm and dry for most of the day with good spells of sunshine. It will be cloudier near the west coast with occasional patches of rain or drizzle. Highest temperatures will be between 21 and 26 degrees, warmest in the east and midlands, with a mostly moderate southerly breeze.

Patches of rain and drizzle will continue in the west on Tuesday night, with the odd patch possible elsewhere. Temperatures will remain mild and humid overnight, not falling below 15 to 18 degrees in mostly light southerly breezes.

Wednesday will remain dry with spells of sunshine in the east and southeast, while it will be cloudier in the west and northwest with outbreaks of rain. Highest temperatures will be between 22 to 28 degrees, with hottest conditions in Leinster.

Thursday will likely be another warm or hot day with sunny spells and scattered showers, turning heavy at times. Highest temperatures will be between 22 and 28 degrees, hottest again in Leinster, with light to moderate southwesterly breezes.

The forecaster said current indications show a mostly settled but cooler end to the week, with temperatures falling back close to average.
