It is now odds-on at 1/2 that this week will deliver the hottest day of the year so far, according to Ladbrokes.
With Ireland set to bask in glorious sunshine over the coming days according to Met Eireann, the bookies are also offering odds of just 3/1 that temperatures reach 20C before the end of the week.
Elsewhere, after a washout start to Spring, things could finally be looking up with odds now at 7/1 that this April is the hottest on record.
Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: "The weekend sunshine has really raised hopes among punters that we could finally be getting some Spring weather. A recent run of money, coupled with Met Éireann’s prediction for soaring temperatures this week, has forced us to slash the odds that this week will bring the hottest day of 2023 so far!"
