It will be somewhat cooler in the north, with temperatures between 14 and 17C and a chance of showers in Ulster.
On Sunday, higher temperatures are expected nationwide, with highs of 18 to 23C forecast, though it will be slightly cooler along the east coast, reports RTE.

Met Éireann has attributed the good spell to high pressure building northward from southern Europe, currently centred over Spain and France.
Matthew Martin, meteorologist with Met Éireann, said temperatures in those regions are currently sitting in the low-to-mid 30s, reports RTE.
“Of course, the airmass moving up over Ireland will be heavily modified by the time it reaches our shores and temperatures are expected to peak at around 22 or 23C here on Sunday,” he said.
High ultraviolet levels are expected and people are advised to take precautions by applying sun protection, reports RTE.
However, the settled spell will not extend into next week, with more unsettled conditions forecast from Tuesday onwards due to low pressure arriving from the Atlantic.
