We think Met Eireann are playing an elaborate joke.

Well, it's either that, or for once we're actually catching a break, because the weather for the next week is meant to be.....wait for it....

GOOD.

Yes, according to Met Eireann the next seven days are going to be a bit of an Indian Summer, with temperatures sticking around 17-18 degrees.

Even if it turns out that a few figures are knocked off that, we'll still enjoy the lack of rain, and the main thing, no wind. It's almost like we're getting a summer. Who'd have thought it?

The highest temperatures for today are between 14 to 17 degrees, but the weather should pick up over the weekend slightly, giving us all one last chance to enjoy the sun before winter hits us in the first week of October, because you know, it's Ireland.
