Make hay while the sun shines as the sizzle is set to fizzle out

Fancy a 99? Or how about an old fashioned wafer — ripple, preferably — to stay cool in this heat?

Better make it quick as the current sizzler is likely to fizzle out towards the end of the week, according to Met Éireann.

While the glorious weather over the past four days brought crowds to beaches, parks, and lakes in many parts of the country, we may not be so lucky next weekend.
