It’s been a long time coming.
After a long, long winter it looks like the spring weather is finally doing its thing and the temperatures are rising.
Met Éireann are giving the good news this week and have pinpointed when temperatures are set to soar to a sizzling 22C.
The forecaster has said that Saturday will be the hottest day of the week, with spells of sunshine and temperatures up to 22C inland with light winds.
The national forecast for the rest of the week is also pretty peachy, with long spells of sunshine and rising temperatures.
Weather expert Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather on X backed up the forecast by saying: “Warmer and dryer rest of week and into Saturday. Possibly turning back to cooler air next week but thankfully not a lot of rain showing at present.”
With high pressure in charge this week, it will be mostly fine with some good spells of sunshine☀️
