The stretch of glorious weather<\/a> that has graced Ireland over the last week could end with showers raining down across the country later in the week, forecasters have warned.<\/p>\n

The country has been enjoying sunshine and highs of 21C over the last few days, with more to come into next week, as daytime temperatures are forecast to hit the mid to high teens, with dry weather for the most part.<\/p>\n

While Met \u00c9ireann<\/a> forecasters said the weather would stay settled until later in the week, they added there could be a chance of clouds and showery rain spreading northwards over the country through Thursday.<\/p>\n

Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather also warned of downpours towards the end of next week, but stressed there was uncertainty surrounding the current forecast. He wrote: \u201cA risk of showers Thursday\/Friday but a lot of uncertainty yet. If you have plans I wouldn\u2019t panic just yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
