The latest charts we have indicate some showers and potentially heavy thundery showers breaking the fine spell of weather.

Yes, the good news is it could change.

But, you know, we have a fairly good idea of what's going to come up in the next few days, you know, two or three days out.

It's fairly certain we can kind of go with that.

Do you know, I would love to be able to tell you, Brendan, that it's going to be a barbecue summer to cancel all your foreign holidays, stay at home, because we all know when we get the weather here in Ireland, it's the most beautiful country in the world.

Nobody can argue with that.

But unfortunately, we can't.

It's just too far away.

At this point, all we can do is live in hope.

Yeah, I mean, I think this came as a surprise to a lot of people after the very wet weather we had recently.

These warnings were issued and people were asking the question, how can this be possible?

The ground is absolutely soaked wet.

But it just takes a few days for the ground and the shrubs and that kind of thing to dry out very quickly.

So an amber warning, an orange warning rather, has been issued across the Republic right through until noon on Monday.

A yellow warning is enforced in the north as well for that.

We've already seen wildfires breaking out in Clonmany and County Donegal.

There was some concern with those fires as well because they came fairly close to homes.

And a lot of people criticising anyone who maybe is involved in perhaps lighting these fires because it can be irresponsible, especially when it's very windy.

They can spread very quickly and get out of control, putting resources at risk and also some homes at risk.

So those warnings remain in place right through until Monday.
