While many people will welcome the return of rain after last week’s scorching heat, we don’t have to wait
too long until the dry and sunny conditions return, with a band of high pressure set to usher in another spell of glorious summer weather at the end of the week. Met Eireann has pinpointed the areas set to enjoy the best of the sunny weather next weekend, with the national forecaster revealing that 10 counties will bake in sizzlying 25C heat next Sunday, July 5.
