Hooray!
It's mid-March, but we're already ready for summer.
Dreaming of long stretches in the evenings, needing to wear sunglasses and ditching the winter coat...
Well, maybe we won't be dreaming much longer after the latest forecast from Met Éireann.
If you look out the window right now, you'll see what we mean.
(Photo: Pixabay)Today is forecast to be a dry and sunny day with top temperatures of between 10 and 16 degrees.
Now, let's look forward to the next few days...
Tomorrow (Saturday)
A bit cooler, but still dry and sunny across most areas, breezy too, in moderate to fresh southeast winds.
Highest temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees.
Sunday
Most areas will be cloudy with the best of any sunny spells in the northeast and east.
Overall dry, outside of a few showers which will mainly affect the western half of the country later in the day.
Highest temperatures of 9 to 14 degrees
Monday - it's getting good now
Mostly dry with long spells of spring sunshine across most areas.
Just well scattered showers in the morning, and these will die out through the day.
Top temperatures of 10 to 16 degrees, warmest all the while across the west possibly reaching 17 degrees there.
And then Met Éirenn says we're in for a period of lovely weather for the near future:
"Current indications showing a good deal of dry and sunny weather. Very mild or even warm in sunshine, with best values across the western half of the country."
