The sunny weather and warm temperatures are sticking around.
Met Éireann has said that the warm, sunny weather conditions we’ve been enjoying over the last week are here to stay beyond the Bank Holiday weekend, before a slight change late next week.
The country is currently enjoying temperatures in the 20s, with long spans of sunshine amid high pressure.
According to the forecaster, the sunny weather will remain for the rest of the day, although “patchy cloud will bubble up at times this afternoon and evening.”
The lowest temperatures tonight will be around 5 to 11 degrees, with “some mist and fog” developing in the light easterly breezes.

The good news is that the conditions are set to remain the same over the course of the next few days, with the forecaster saying: “High pressure will continue to dominate our weather with largely dry conditions and plenty of sunshine. Generally mild though an easterly airflow will keep it coolest close to the Irish Sea.”
However, milder conditions will start to appear towards the end of the week, with some showers potentially on the way.
Take a look at the national outlook for the week below.
