WARM AND HUMID weather is what Met Éireann is forecasting until at least Sunday.

Temperatures are set to soar to 27 degrees in some parts of the country today and are expected to stay in the mid to high twenties for the rest of the week.

Of course, there will be the odd patches of mist and some cloud, we are in Ireland after all, but we’ll take what we can get.

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

We were spoiled over the weekend with people all over the country getting to bask in the glorious sunshine, a TheJournal.ie reader sent us this picture (below) of Garryvoe Beach in east Cork. Nice. You can send us your pictures of your time in the sun to tips@thejournal.ie.
