Heading to Electric Picnic? Met Éireann have some GREAT news

by

At the first mutterings of an "Indian Summer," Irish people tend to go into overdrive with dreams of what could be.

So of course as soon as we heard that some sun might be headed our way come September, we began getting VERY excited for the possibility of a sun-drenched festival weekend at Electric Picnic.

And with Day 1 of the Stradbally musical festival just three days away, Met Éireann have finally confirmed the good news. We will have sun… Loads of it!

Speaking on Spin 1038 this morning, forecaster Joan Blackburn said that revellers could expect temperatures of around "17 or 18 degrees [Celsius] in the afternoons" over this weekend.

Okay, it's not quite "sun drenched," but 17-18 degrees is the perfect festival temperature… warm enough to channel Vanessa Hudgens in some skimpy festival wear, but mild enough to stay sweat-free.

Don't forget a hoody or two though, as Joan says that mornings and late evenings will still be relatively chilly.

But her overall prediction for the weekend? "Dry and pleasant generally."

That'll do for us, Joan. That'll do for us.
