Summer has kicked off with gloriously warm conditions to continue for Dublin and the rest of the country over the June Bank Holiday weekend, with top temperatures of 24C which means it'll be hotter than Ibiza.
However, in its long-range forecast for June Met Eireann has warned that after the bank holiday we'll see a big change with "unsettled conditions" to hit the country, particularly towards the end of the month. But before that, the capital is set to bask in "dry and sunny conditions" this weekend.
It's set to be dry and mostly sunny this morning, with plenty of sunshine through the day although there will b a little more cloud coming in from the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees in mostly light easterly breezes.
