Friday will be more of the same though and temperatures will be slightly warmer compared to Thursday on the east coast with a highest temperature of 16 degrees In Dublin.
Saturday will be a warm day everywhere though there is a chance of rain showers in counties Donegal and Clare. Maximum temperatures will be between 15 and 19 degrees in light southerly breezes.
There’ll be some showers around on Sunday but also with decent spells of sunshine. It will be the first day of widespread rain since April 27th and will bring much needed precipitation to parts of the country that have seen none of it for the last two weeks.
The long-term forecast is for a return to the dry and pleasant weather next week.
Meanwhile in the UK, even warmer temperatures are expected, with highs of 26 degrees forecast for southern England and south-east Wales.
