They're predicting maximum temperatures generally of 27 to 29 degrees.

It will also be warm at night, with temperatures generally not dipping below 15 degrees Celsius.

However, as Waterford City Weather's Michael Kelly has been telling WLR, daytime temperatures may not be as high in coastal areas like Waterford, due to sea breezes.
