A blast of warm weather is expected across the Northern Sound region, just in time to start off the weekend. According to Magheracloone native and national weather forecaster Gerry Murphy, temperatures across Cavan and Monaghan could reach up to 23 or 24 degrees over today and tomorrow. Speaking to Northern Sound, Gerry has advised locals to "soak up the sunshine" while they can, with temperatures set to drop and cloudier skies to appear on Sunday.
Overall, the RTE weather forecaster said it was an "average" summer when it comes to temperatures and rainfall across the region. Rainfall in West Cavan was above average, however further east of the region rainfall was below average, particularly due to the wet weather in August.
