An end to cold, miserable and windy weather could be in sight as Met Eireann forecasts a jump in temperatures is on the way following a spate of bad conditions.
Ireland was battered by wind and rain on Wednesday evening with weather warnings issued for much of the country. This has been a regular occurrence since the start of the year, with the national forecaster even announcing that last month was the wettest March on record.
However, people might be able to start dusting off the garden furniture in the shed or getting their swimming trunks ready for a trip to the beach because the weekend is set to bring some sunny spells.
