Met Éireann confirm temperatures are going to skyrocket today

Well, this is FAB.

We had rain. We had wind. We even had hail stones... in April (!!) so to say we're delighted there's a bit of sun now that it's May is an understatement. And it seems like Mr. Sunshine is here to stay as temps are going to absolutely soar today. According to Met Éireann, we're going to see highs of up to 23 degrees, so it's definitely time to whip the sun cream out.

Warm and sunny for much of the country this afternoon /evening with highs of 18 to 23 degrees in light breezes. Western and southern coastal areas will continue to remain cooler and cloudier. pic.twitter.com/9ecRPZZZ8M

"Warm and sunny for much of the country this afternoon /evening with highs of 18 to 23 degrees in light breezes. Western and southern coastal areas will continue to remain cooler and cloudier." And tomorrow is going to be class too. "Good sunshine again tomorrow for the bulk of the country with highs of 17 to 21 degrees. Cloudier along Atlantic coasts with patchy mist and drizzle at times. "Dry in many areas at first, with some clear spells in the east, but patchy rain and drizzle will occur in Atlantic coastal counties. More persistent rain will extend from west overnight and during Tuesday morning, with freshening southerly winds. "Overall amounts will be relatively small and rain will be very patchy in the south and east. Mild, with minimum temperatures of 8 to 11 Celsius." We can't ask for anything more.
