AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND IS LOOKING VERY WARM AND DRY ACROSS IRELAND
High pressure building
There are strong outputs from different weather models that a area of high pressure from Scandinavia will build and spread across Ireland and the UK over the end of next week and the the August bank holiday weekend with temperatures again rising into the high twenties for many with a lot of very dry weather around again.
Some models even hint that temperatures could rise close to 30C over Ireland again and this mid 30s over England & Wales.
If this does end up been the case then there will be plenty of sunshine around again with very warm and hot air returning.
I will continue to keep a eye on this over the coming days and update and keep you the Donegal Weather Channel & Irish Weather Channel followers up to date.
