Temperatures set to peak at 25C in coming days

THERE is to be a respite, albeit temporary, from the wet and cold weather experienced by much of the country recently with temperatures likely to peak at 25C in the coming days.

Forecasters predict temperatures will soar by as much as 12C over the weekend, to highs of 22C on Sunday and could reach 25C by the middle of next week.

Met Éireann forecaster Harm Luijkx has warned that while temperatures will rise dramatically, the weather will remain unsettled.
