Break out the BBQ! This weekend is set to bring sunshine and high temperatures

There is set to be plenty of sunshine and warm weather this weekend as temperatures peak at over 20 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. At long last it seems that we are getting a prolonged period of good weather, and it should continue right through until next Tuesday.

It will be mostly dry overnight tonight with broken cloud and clear spells and lows of 7-11 degrees.

Saturday will be another dry day with good sunshine during the day and highest temperatures of 15-20 degrees, but occasionally still misty along Atlantic coasts. Light to moderate southwest breezes.

Many places dry with variable cloud and clear spells overnight. Patchy mist, drizzle and fog mainly on hills and coasts. Lows of 5-8 degrees in light southeast or variable breezes.

Cloudy in places to begin on Sunday, with mist and fog on hills and along coasts together with a few spots of light drizzle. Brightening up by the afternoon, with warm sunny periods developing in many areas. Generally cooler near coasts in onshore sea breezes with the risk of lingering mist and fog patches.

Top temperatures of 14-16 degrees in the cloudier, coastal areas, but 19-21 degrees in any prolonged spells of sunshine inland. Winds will be mainly light, southerly or variable in direction. Most places dry on Sunday night apart from isolated drizzle patches, with variable cloud and clear spells. Patches of mist and fog also. Lows of 5-8 degrees in light southeast or variable breezes.
