Beautiful conditions saw the thermometer touch 20C in many places yesterday and finally it appears the summer is here.
And the good news is that the warm and sunny weather is set to stay with us until the weekend at least, so make the best out of it while you can.
There is little or no rain forecast for the next few days, so good drying weather is upon us.
Early indications show that the weekend is likely to be a bit cooler, but still dry.
Conditions will be slightly warmer in Galway than the east side of the country, but moderate temperatures will remain going forward next week.
