A blast of ‘tropical’ air is set to heat up Ireland over the Easter bank holiday weekend before a bleak change next week.
Temperatures could reach a mild 17C over the coming days, although it's set to remain quite unsettled with heavy bursts of rain and hail at times.
It comes after Met Eireann forecast a blast of "milder tropical air" over Easter, ahead of a major change as a chilly weather front sends the mercury plummeting next week.
