Summer rated the best in seven years as forecasters predict more of same

It’s the summer that keeps on giving. Even as Met Éireann rates our summer the best in seven years, forecasters are predicting the good weather is to continue for at least the rest of the week.

Figures for last month show that we enjoyed above-average temperatures across the country. In line with previous months, rainfall also lower than expected, said Met Éireann.

However, despite the dry spell, August was a particularly dull month.
