Temperatures are forecast to soar to highs of 27 degrees in parts of Galway this week as we continue to enjoy the best spell of weather in months.
This week has been our first real spell of sunshine since early June, with temperatures well into the 20s across Galway.
The mercury is expected to hit 25 degrees easily on multiple days this week according to Met Eireann.
In some parts of Galway around the city it is even forecast to reach as high as 27 degrees on Thursday afternoon.
Today promises to be a sunny and dry day, with only a few patches of scattered cloud across other wise clear skies, and temperatures hitting highs of 23 – 25 degrees, with a light southerly breeze.
Thursday promises to be an even warmer day, with highest temperatures of 24 – 27 degrees in the afternoon, with a light variable breeze.
A dry but humid day, with some patches of cloud during the morning and afternoon, but clearest in the evening.
Friday promises to continue to be blisteringly hot, with temperatures again reaching highs of 25 – 27 degrees, and clear sunny skies throughout the day.
Don’t expect any relief from the wind, as only a very gentle variable breeze is expected in Galway on Friday.
Headed into the weekend temperatures will begin to fall once again, with rain showers, heavy at time, making their return on Sunday and into next week.
