Sun worshippers rejoice!

Temperatures are expected to remain as high as 26 degrees in the first half of the week, making Ireland hotter than the Canaray Islands – bad news if you're off on your holliers.
All parts of the country will experience temperatures well above average for this time of year, however the best of the sunshine will be in Munster and Leinster.
