SUNSHINE will be back in Limerick next week as temperatures will be warmer than average.

That's according to Met Éireann, who forecasts that the highest temperatures will hit 25 degrees and that "good spells of sunshine" are to be expected.

On Monday, there will be some fog in the morning, continuing through the day near some coasts. Otherwise it will be a dry and mild day with plenty of sunshine. Highest temperatures of 21 to 24 or 25 degrees in light southeast to east or variable breezes. Mild and humid overnight. Mostly dry though more fog will develop and there is the chance of some heavy showers pushing up from the south towards morning.

On Tuesday, fog will be quicker to clear than previous mornings as more moderate easterly winds develop. Good spells of sunshine are expected though there is the chance of some heavy or thundery showers. Highest temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees generally.

Further Outlook: A good deal of uncertainty in the further outlook but current indications suggest that high pressure will gradually decline eastwards allowing for some rain or showers to move in. Temperatures continuing to reach the low to mid-twenties generally.
