It will, however, be slightly cloudier in the west and north with a little drizzle at times possibly. 

Sunday is to be slightly cooler, with temperatures peaking at 18 degrees, but it will stay dry in the main. 

Next week temperatures are set to rise back up to 21 degrees on Monday and Tuesday. 

The warm weather is to continue on into the week.
