June has been unpredictable so far in terms of weather, with a mix of rain, thunderstorms, and cool temperatures. However, as we approach the middle of the year and enjoy longer days, it seems like summer is finally arriving with temperatures reaching the mid-20s.

According to the latest forecast from Met Éireann, we can expect a period of settled, warm, and dry weather for most of this week and possibly extending into the weekend.
