Yaaaaas! Spring has finally arrived after weeks of weather warnings

If you were out and about yesterday, you may have noticed that for the first time in months, sunglasses were a requirement rather than an umbrella.

The weeks of weather warnings are officially behind us, as Met Éireann is predicting dry weather for the rest of the week.

"Dry in many places today with sunny spells this morning."

"Cloud will thicken further this afternoon with scattered outbreaks of light rain and drizzle moving into Munster and west Connacht with freshening southeast breezes."

"Mild with maximum temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees Celsius, best values across Munster and Leinster.''

Some further bright spells this eve, with just the odd shwr. Cloudier in S & along W coasts with some patchy mist/driz. Mod SW winds.

This evening will be mild with a bit of a breeze, and were hoping for a sunset as striking as the sunrise this morning. 

There will be a touch of drizzle tonight, but it should hold off as we head into the weekend. 

We'll be getting the deck chairs out and mixing up a few mimosas for a backyard brunch this Saturday.
