THE SUNNY SPELL of weather being enjoyed across the country is set to continue into the weekend.
Irish people have been enjoying high temperatures in recent days, climbing to 18.5 degrees in Phoenix Park in Dublin yesterday – the highest temperature recorded all year.
A temperature of 18.1 degrees was also recorded in Athenry in Co Galway.
The national forecaster is predicting high temperatures tomorrow again. It will be largely dry, but the odd shower may break out in parts of Leinster and Ulster.
There’s also a slight chance that a little bit of sea fog may encroach onto some coastal parts at times. Temperatures will reach highs of 14 to 18 degrees, but it may be a little lower in coastal parts of the east and north.
Saturday is set to be a dry day with sunny spells and a light easterly breeze. Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees.
Sunday will see mist and fog clear from most areas in the morning, but it may persist along parts of the north and east coast.
It will be dry with sunny spells and light east to southeast or variable winds, with temperatures climbing to 17 degrees.
Met Éireann says that the good weather will be here to stay until Monday at least, giving people the chance to enjoy the sunshine over the weekend.
Today in south Dublin, people took turns jumping off the rocks at the Forty foot, while parks have been full of people making the most of the spring sunshine.
