Met Éireann is forecasting highs of 21C on Friday along with good spells of sunshine as the fine weather that has arrived is set to last all week.

High pressure is set to "dominate for the rest of the week with mostly settled conditions, along with a warming trend too", according to Met Éireann.

Tomorrow will be a dry and breezy day with spells of sunshine and just a few showers possible. Temperatures will range between 11-14C, and it will be mildest in the west.

The temperatures will rise on Thursday with another dry and sunny day in store and highs of 13-18C forecast. Met Éireann said it will be warmest in the west of the country.

Friday will be "another dry, fine sunny day for most". It will be "warm in sunshine with afternoon highs of 14-21C", according to the forecaster.

And the outlook for the weekend is also fair with Met Éireann saying it will remain mostly dry with light winds and good spells of sunshine, as well as above average temperatures for late April.

However, as usual, there is a warning of some scattered showers, which may turn thundery.
