Today will be a dry and generally sunny day, though the sunshine will turn hazy at times. Turning warm again especially in the west with highest temperatures of 17 to 22 degrees generally. However, the east coast will hold a couple of degrees cooler in light to moderate easterly breezes.
Tonight will be dry with a mix of clear spells and high cloud with lowest temperatures of 6 to 11 degrees in light variable breezes.
Tomorrow will be warm, dry and largely sunny. Highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees although a light to moderate easterly breeze will keep things slightly cooler on northern and eastern coasts with highs there of 15 to 18 degrees.
Dry and mostly clear overnight on Tuesday with lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees, some mist and fog patches in northern ulster in light northeasterly or variable winds.

Friday will again be dry and warm in many parts, although there will be a little more passing cloud over the northern half of the country.
