Soak up the sunshine, rain is on the way

FESTIVAL revellers and sun worshipers basked in the unbroken sunshine and temperatures edging towards 20 degrees across the weekend.

But make the most of the final bursts today as Met Eireann warns that a change is on the way.

While temperatures are expected to remain high over the coming days, the winds will change from mid-week with heavy rain due in, particularly hitting the south-west and the west. Farmers are also urged that a blight alert will be issued from tomorrow night.
