Crunchy leaves and a warm breeze.

That’s what you can expect on your daily walk this week, as Met Éireann predicts an unseasonably mild week with balmy temperatures of up to 22C in Cork.

It will be mostly cloudy overall throughout Monday, but spells of hazy sunshine will occur at times too.

Forecasters expect it to remain “warm and humid, with maximum temperatures of 18 to 21 degrees, in mostly light to moderate southeast breezes.”

Tomorrow, Tuesday, will start out mostly cloudy but largely dry.

“Warm sunny spells will develop in some parts as the day goes on, but scattered showers will break out also, some of them possibly heavy. Highest temperatures of 19 to 21 degrees in light southerly or variable breezes,” says Met Éireann.

Wednesday looks set to be the warmest day of the week, with bright or sunny spells and scattered light showers, once early mist and fog patches clear. Maximum temperatures will range from 20 to 22 degrees.
