Ireland weather: Met Eireann forecast sensational change as 'BBQ' conditions pinpointed

Ireland could be set for a blast of summer weather in just a few days time thanks to the Azores High.

High pressure looks set to move towards the country in the middle of next week with great conditions possible next weekend.

Met Éireann forecaster Emer Flood told the Irish Mirror: “The hope is that BBQ weather is on the way for most areas next weekend but we’ll have to see as the week progresses how warm it’s actually going to get.”

She explained: “There is a large area of high pressure positioned over the Azores at the moment and that high will start to build towards us as the week progresses.

“Unfortunately, there will still be some weak fronts skirting around the north of the high, bringing some light rain or drizzle at times particularly towards the first half of the week, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

"But from Thursday onwards, we will really start to see an improvement in conditions.”

Top temperatures of 19C will hit today and tomorrow although some areas might be a bit cooler.

But Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday could all see weather heading into the twenties.

The forecast says: "High pressure will gradually build over Ireland. Rather cloudy early in the week with patchy rain or showers at times, especially in the west and north. Some sunshine further east and south. Becoming warmer and sunnier by the end of the week."
