Hotter than Madrid? Sunshine to fall upon Kildare once again today

It's another day to make the most of the sun as Kildare is set to receive some of the best weather in Ireland this afternoon when temperatures climb to as high as 18 degrees.

That balmy weather is set to be better than the best that Madrid can offer today, so it's a good day to spend in the great outdoors and soak in the sunshine.

It will be sunny this morning, but cool to start, with the frost and patchy mist already cleared. Further sunshine this afternoon and evening, but some of it rather hazy. Fresh along the south and east coasts, with temperatures of 11 or 12 degrees, in moderate to fresh east to northeasterly winds, but warm elsewhere, with highs of 15-18 degrees inland.

Dry tonight, with a mix of clear spells and cloudy periods. Lowest temperatures 3-7 degrees, in moderate easterly breezes.
