A dry night ahead for Co Kildare and it's set to be as hot as Barcelona tomorrow!

It's set to be a dry, clear night after a glorious day of good sunshine for Co Kildare and it's set to be even warmer tomorrow with temperatures to reach 16C-just as hot as Barcelona in Spain!

Met Eireann is forecasting a dry day with long sunny spells, with temperatures as high as 16C making it as hot as the popular Spanish holiday destination.

A spokesman for the national forecaster said: "Thursday will be another dry day with good sunny spells more widely. It will be somewhat cloudier near north and west coasts. There will be light to moderate southwest breezes. Highest temperatures will be between 12C to 16C. Thursday night will be more cloudy with patchy rain due to fall in western counties. It will be warmer than previous nights, but temperatures will dip to as low as 2C."

Meanwhile, it will be dry tonight for Kildare with long clear spells in parts but cloud likely in the far north. Lowest temperatures of -1 to +3 degrees with slight frost and a few fog patches are likely.
