A weather expert has warned beachgoers on one side of the country to "bring a jumper" due to the contrast in temperature between east and west over the June Bank Holiday weekend.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather has informed that the cool breeze on the east of the country "isn't going anywhere."
Posting to his popular Twitter page, Mr O'Reilly said: "Heading to the beach this weekend? Well bring the jumper if heading East and the short sleeves if heading West but bring the sunscreen regardless. That East to Northeast wind isn’t going anywhere."
