Looks like things could be looking up weather wise.

Temperatures are set to soar to 22 degrees this weekend as Met Éireann has forecasted “sunny spells” to hit the country on Saturday.

Wednesday will start mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain or drizzle mixed with occasional brighter spells.

While it will stay mostly cloudy in the west during the afternoon, the best of the brighter spells will develop in the east. It will become generally drier over all, but there will be a chance of a few shower, especially in the southeast by evening.

Highest temperatures will range between 16 and 21 degrees.

Meanwhile, Thursday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers, mainly across the eastern half of the country and becoming isolated by evening.

Some sunny spells are likely also with highest temperatures of 16 to 18 degrees.

Friday will see outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the west and southwest will move northeastwards and will be followed by sunny spells and scattered showers, most frequent in the southwest. Highest temperatures will range 17 to 20 degrees.

However, it looks at though Saturday and Sunday will bring sunny spells as temperatures are expected to reach 19 to 22 degrees on Saturday, but less warm on Sunday due to more cloud.
