Well get another bottle of it ready because the sun is here to stay this week.

Wednesday will be mainly dry with sunny spells but the chance of a few showers in the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees with light breezes.
THURSDAY
Thursday will be a somewhat cloudier day with some heavy showers. A few may be thundery. Highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees with light breezes, warmest in the south.
FRIDAY
Friday will bring a mix of sunny spells and some scattered showers. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees in Connacht and west Ulster and from 20 to 24 degrees to the east and south.
