Higher-than-average temperatures are forecast until at least Thursday, according to Met Éireann.

He said temperatures reached 24.7 degrees at Phoenix Park in Dublin today.

Meteorologist Joanna Donnelly said the eastern half of the country was experiencing warm, calm weather, which is often referred to as an ‘Indian summer’.

He said the high pressure right now is bound to dominate the weather for the foreseeable future.

Ms Donnelly said that while she was a bit restless in the west with some rainy activity, that should calm down in the next few days and they should have their share of good weather too.

Said it would stay warm until the middle of the week.

Starting Thursday, he said, there will still be a different high pressure zone, but it will still be pleasant, dry and sunny weather.

Donnelly said the high pressure is due to an active hurricane system in the Atlantic and a warm ocean, with tropical air rising over Ireland.

Met Éireann has said temperatures are 3-4 ° C above the September average in all areas, with the highest temperatures likely to be found in the eastern half of the country.

He said the average high maximum temperature at this time of year in Dublin’s Phoenix Park is typically 17 ° C.

In September last year, the highest temperature recorded that month was 22.1 ° C at Phoenix Park on the 3rd, and also at Athenry, Co Galway on the 19th.

Much of Western Europe is experiencing above-average temperatures right now, with England and France also expecting warm weather in the coming days, with some areas expecting to hit 30 ° C.
