Friday
Friday will be a warm and humid day with good sunshine for Ulster and Leinster. However, Met Éireann has said that it will be cloudier across Munster and Connacht.
There is the potential for a few thunderstorms to develop bringing heavy rain and the risk of surface flooding.
Top temperatures will range from 22°C to 27°C generally but it will be a few degrees cooler in southern coastal areas due to moderate southeasterly breezes.
