By Irish standards, anyways!

This weekend might be the weekend you dust down those summer clothes as we're set to be in for a sunny one.

Met Éireann predict that some areas today clocked in at 18 degrees with peaks of 21 degrees by the weekend.

Here's how it's shaping up:

Thursday

Thursday will begin mainly dry with sunny spells. The best of these will be across Leinster and Ulster. However, outbreaks of rain will move up into Connacht and Munster during the morning with further outbreaks of rain into the afternoon and evening. It'll be much milder across the north and east with mostly dry conditions and highs there of 19 degrees.

Friday

It's set to be cloudy in many areas, with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Those showers will be mainly in the eastern half of the country and will gradually die out. Mostly dry further west with some bright spells developing. Maximum temperatures of 18 degrees.

Saturday

It'll be mostly dry, with bright or sunny intervals, but a few scattered light showers are likely, especially in Ulster and Leinster. Winds mostly light and variable, but breezy along Atlantic coasts. It's forecast to be warmer than recent days, with highs of 19 or 20 degrees.

Sunday

It will be dry in most areas, with bright or sunny spells, especially in the eastern half of the country. However, cloud will increase in Atlantic coastal counties. The weather will be warm too in many areas, with highs of 21 degrees, but cooler in west and southwest coastal areas.
