Ireland is set for an early blast of warm summer weather, with long-range forecasts showing above average temperatures for the first half of April.
The weather is due to take a turn for the better next week as high pressure pushes the rain away and brings more settled conditions.
Low pressure in the Atlantic has been the driving force behind Ireland’s recent miserable weather, however a switch to high pressure is being signalled from Monday, April 3 right through until at least Sunday, April 16.
