Sunshine in store ahead of a dry weekend, but it won't be too warm

It looks set to be quite a good weekend in terms of the weather over the coming days, with most areas across the country expecting little or no rainfall and temperatures remaining moderately high.

Tonight will see some clear intervals but there will be a few showers about too, these mainly along the west and north. Lowest temperatures of 11-13 degrees in light to moderate west to northwest breezes. An isolated mist patch will form inland.

A bright and fresh day to come on Saturday with a mix of sunny spells and a few passing showers. Highest temperatures of 15-19 degrees. Northwest winds mostly light to moderate in strength. It should remain dry throughout the night but for a few isolated drizzles, and temperatures will range from 9-12 degrees.

A dry and bright morning for the bulk of the country on Sunday. Ulster and most of Leinster will remain dry until evening time but rain will develop through Munster and Connacht during the afternoon with the rain extending to all places during the evening and night.
