So yesterday we got up to 24.8 degrees in Phoenix Park in Dublin, but we will get higher over the next couple of days.

So really for today, we're talking widely getting between 23 and 28 degrees, but it will be a little bit cooler near Western and Northern coasts.

And we could see locally getting up a little bit higher.

And between today, tomorrow and Wednesday, we certainly would be seeing temperatures in the high 20s.

Lovely.

Is that unusual for this time of year?

It is.

So the average temperatures for May, the highest temperatures would generally range between 13 and 16 degrees.

Now, we're on the cusp of switching into June, where the highest temperatures would be 15 to 18 degrees.

So it certainly is warmer than average.

The current record for highest temperature in May is 28.4 degrees.

Now that was recorded on the 31st of May in 97.

We could see higher than that over the next couple of days.

So we'll be keeping an eye on that one, certainly.

It does, yes.

So it will be dry today, then between tomorrow and Wednesday, chance of an isolated shower, but really most places will stay dry.

But we are going to have outbreaks of rain pushing up from the southwest on Thursday, and that will herald a little bit of a change.

So while temperatures will remain above average, they will be a little bit cooler in the coming days.

Friday, still mostly dry, but it is looking like it's turning more unsettled for the weekend and temperatures will fall back.

Now, they'll still be average or possibly still above average in places, but it will be noticeably cooler than it has been of late.
