Ireland weather: Met Eireann forecast early blast of summer as temperatures soar for Easter week

Ireland will once again bask in temperatures approaching 20C over the next few days - as we get an early blast of summer 2022 in the middle of April.

Though Monday was blue and Tuesday fairly gray, it doesn't seem that the dull, dreary conditions will continue for much longer.

In fact, we'll see some glorious sunshine as we approach Good Friday.

Met Éireann have said that high pressure "looks set to be positioned close to Ireland" - meaning we'll have relatively settled weather over the weekend.

In the build up, the country will see the gloomy conditions clear, starting on Wednesday.

The latest forecast from the Met Éireann boffins says that things "will brighten up with sunny spells and scattered showers, mainly over Connacht and Ulster. Mild with highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees."

Thursday will be mostly cloudy, starting off mainly dry.

"Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will gradually spread eastwards across the country. Highest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees" the forecast reads.

Good Friday seems to be when the best of the weather will kick in.

Met Éireann's latest prediction reads: "Friday will be largely dry with sunny spells developing after mist and fog clear. It will be mild with highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees with light to moderate southerly breezes.

"Saturday will bring a fair amount of dry weather and some passing showers. Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees with moderate southerly breezes.

"Sunday looks like starting off mainly dry. However, rain will develop in the west and gradually spread to all areas. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees."
