WELL WOULD YOU look at that – not a cloud in the sky today and guess what? The weekend is looking much the same!

Met Éireann has forecast “dry, settled weather over the weekend with further long hours of sunshine through both Saturday and Sunday”.

Temperatures are set to reach the low 20s in many inland areas, but light onshore breezes will keep it slightly cooler near the east and south coasts.

As we reach into next week, the weather gradually becomes more unsettled with temperatures set to drop back to more normal values and outbreaks of rain – but we can worry about that next week.

For now, it actually feels likes summer, so there’ll plenty more days in the park like this:

Or even just catching a few rays, wherever and whenever you can, like this:
