Pro. It’s expected to be another fantastic day on the weather front. Con. It’s Tuesday and some people will be feeling like this in their office due to the warm conditions.

We feel your sweaty pain.

Well, if you’re out and about, you’ll be pleased to know that today is expected to be sweltering with forecasters predicting that temperatures could reach 27 degrees in places, with the west of the country due to get the best of the weather.

Here’s how the day looks according to Met Éireann. “Early mist and fog patches will clear most places this morning, allowing warm sunny intervals to develop. While many areas will hold dry, some heavy showers will occur this afternoon, these most likely in west Connacht and Munster, where there is the risk of isolated thunderstorms.”

They add: “Humid, with top temperatures of 21 to 26 degrees Celsius generally, highest in the west and south, but a few degrees cooler in the coastal fringes. Winds mostly light to moderate east to northeast or variable, with sea breezes developing.”

So, beer garden after work?
