We're taking these reports with a pinch of salt but Ireland is set to experience record temperatures next week.
According to The Sun, temperatures will rise from next Tuesday (May 24th), and we'll continue to experience "heat surges" this month.
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, says May is shaping up to be a scorcher.
“Despite a much fresher and slightly more unsettled outlook in the coming days, there is now agreement that high pressure will dominate for the remainder of May.
“This will allow many parts of the country to bask in well above-average temperatures - with a number of heat surges around the mid month period and during the final third of the month."
“All of this will deliver optimum conditions for heatwave after heatwave during the start of the meteorological summer, and several of these heat surges are likely to be of some major significance in terms of the maximum recorded temperatures.”
Experts also say summer 2016 will be one of the hottest in decades, with Ireland and Britian enjoying "heatwave after heatwave" throughout June and July.
Fingers crossed!
