WELL, IT’S THE first day of September and it looks like the warm weather isn’t going anywhere for the time being – some good news for Electric Picnic-goers.
Met Éireann says temperatures today are to range between 18 and 22 degrees, with some light breezes.
This afternoon is to be bright with sunny spells developing. However, some light drizzle may persist on north and northwest coasts.
Tonight will again be mainly dry apart from some patchy drizzle along coastal areas.
Temperatures will drop to between 12 and 14 degrees overnight, and Met Éireann says light southerly winds will increase along Atlantic coasts by the morning.
Tomorrow is expected to start dry in most areas, however, outbreaks of rain and drizzle are forecast to develop in the west during the morning.
These outbreaks will spread eastwards across the country throughout the day, but they aren’t expected to reach the east coast until early evening.
Temperatures tomorrow will range between 17 and 23 degrees.
Looking into next week, Met Éireann says high pressure will dominate the weather over the country, leading to mostly dry conditions.
Monday and Tuesday are set to be dry, with sunny spells.
The best of the sunshine will be in Leinster and Munster, Met Éireann says, with cloudier conditions in Connacht and Ulster.
Temperatures will range between 14 and 18 degrees on Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday is again expected to be mainly dry, with some rain or drizzle for a time in the northwest.

So much for reform of government and in sitting Dáil days? Promises promises Enda…
Ps I know politicians should get holidays but two months during a financial crisis is a joke. Where’s all our promised legislation on upward only rent reviews, changes in bankruptcy laws etc? You take a break when you earn in, not because you are entitled to it Enda
Plus ça change
The most disturbing thing about that piece is the fact that Leonard Cohen writes poetry.
It’s also weird that a journalist thinks that a Euro crisis is something our lot would be involved with. Oh, I need a holiday!
Could that mentioned concept of a “new euro” actually come to pass? This is an actual question, I mean if there’s a chance there’ll be a euro for the more stable countries and one for the PIGS of Europe then what is the point in us staying with the euro rather than reinstating our old currency…? I thought a strength of the euro was that it was tied to the value of the mark, but if that value is taken away from the currency we would use, where’s the incentive to stay?
Anyone else remember the furore from Fine Gael and Labour in 2009 when the Dáil wasn’t recalled?
I vaguely remember Enda & Gilmore having a bit of a wobbly when the Dáil wasn’t recalled at the start of the Crisis a while back… No?
Cheap headline…
Life goes on for everybody in the dail.maybe because they earn more money in a year then most people earn in a lifetime.
have your say
