Well the summer is almost over, but temperatures are set to peak again from next week.

Met Éireann says next Monday and Tuesday will have sunny spells during the first half of the day - with highs of 17 degrees.

While the later part of the week will be "drier but still cool", according to the forecaster.

But Siobhan Ryan from Met Éireann has told the Irish Times next week looks "dry, settled and calm, with little or no wind".

It's potentially good news for the thousands heading for the Electric Picnic festival from September 4th.

We haven't had the best summer so far - with July seeing some of the worst rainfall in five or six years in some parts of the country.

The wettest day was at Cork Airport on July 6th, with 41.3mm of rain recorded - its wettest July day in 10 years.
