There will be highs of 18 to 21 degrees in light breezes.
Meanwhile, a gorse fire warning has been issued in light of the significantly hotter conditions.
With a number of gorse fires having already occurred this year, landowners and members of the public have been urged not to engage in activities that could cause wildfires.
Under the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000, it is an offence to cut, grub, burn or destroy any vegetation growing on land not then cultivated between March 1 and August 31.
Landowners and members of the public are urged to be vigilant and to report any uncontrolled or unattended fires immediately to the fire service by dialling 999 or 112.
