It’s absolutely balmy out there.

And it looks like the glorious August weather is set to continue for the foreseeable future, with Met Éireann predicting a sun-drenched few days ahead for Cork and a “very warm” weekend.

“Ongoing high pressure will keep our weather very settled for the rest of the week with dry conditions and a good deal of sunshine across the country.” said a forecaster.

Tonight, Tuesday night will be dry and clear with lowest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees.

According to the forecasters, Friday will be “hot, dry and sunny” with temperatures reaching 23 to 28 degrees, remaining hot and dry through the weekend with a good deal of sunshine.

“Maximum temperatures are expected to remain in the mid to high twenties across much of the country,” they added.

Good luck finding a packet of burger buns.
