AND NOW THE weather – tomorrow is projected to be more humid than today, with patchy rain in most parts of the country at times.

The warmest weather tomorrow will be felt in the midlands and Munster. Temperatures are likely to reach highs of 17 to 23 degrees.

This week’s warm weather is largely thanks to a weather phenomenon known as the Azores High, which is a large atmospheric high-pressure centre that builds up over the subtropical region.
