Ice Cream Time! Temperatures To “Skyrocket” Next Week

It seems we’re in for a spell of good weather next week, that is if the people at Exacta Weather are anything to go by. According to the forecasters, we’re in for a few very pleasant days next week with temperatures possibly reaching 30 degrees Celsius in places. Meteorologist James Madden told the Metro: “Next week is likely to see high pressure becoming firmly lodged across the country from parts of the far north to parts of the far south. “This will result in an extensive period of exceptionally warm and even hotter weather, making temperatures in Ireland hotter than those of our European counterparts, like Spain, Portugal and France, within this period”. He added: “Temperatures are likely to skyrocket and become more widespread than what we will experience over the next few days and into the weekend. “Many parts of the country can expect to see prolonged periods of glorious sunshine and maximum temperatures ranging into the mid to high-20s. It is also plausible that temperatures could exceed 30C in a number of places within this period”. While we have every faith in Exacta Weather, let’s just say we’re not counting our ice creams just yet... after all, it is Ireland!
