While people may already be in full summer spirit, with their shorts on and barbeques out thanks to the beautiful weather Ireland has been experiencing - summer only officially starts today.
June 1 marks the start of summer, and what better way to celebrate the warmest months of the year than a scorching hot Bank Holiday weekend nationwide, with Met Eireann forecasting a "prolonged warm settled spell".
Current indications from the national forecaster show that temperatures this weekend will range from 19C all the way to 25C in some parts of the country, with some light wind and breeze at points.
