It's a lovely sunny but don't expect it to last because Met Eireann are predicting the weather to turn with a wet and windy week in store.
We've enjoyed a few days of unusually warm weather for this time of year but the forecasters reckon temperatures will drop as low as 1C tonight as a persistent band of rain draws in. And looking ahead, the forecast for the rest of the week shows there will be little let up in the rainy conditions.
Saturday will start off sunny before it becomes windy and showery from mid-morning. Showers will spread eastwards to all areas with some heavy with hail or thunder possible with highest temperatures of 9 to 10C.
