Rain to be banished but Irish Water may extend restrictions

The country may have been basking in a drop of rain over the past few days but that dreaded sunshine looks set to return by the middle of the week.

It’s been one hell of a summer so far and, according to Met Éireann, we have not seen the back of the sunshine yet.

Despite some heavy showers over the past few days, rainfall accumulations will be small over the next couple of days with forecasters predicting that warmer weather will return by the end of the week, especially in the East and South.
