Some predicting Ireland may experience it's hottest ever temperature
Met Eireann's forecast of sunny spells and rising temperatures from the weekend onward, has seen predictions of a potential temperature record for Ireland.
The current record is 33. 3 degrees, which was set in Kilkenny way back in 1887.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather has said the West may get the best of the weather.
He said: "If we get a south-east or easterly breeze it might actually be a bit further west would see the top temperatures.
"One of the stations to keep an eye out for would be Shannon Airport which has a record fo 31.6 - I don't think we'll quite get to those record levels but we could get close."
