Met Éireann are forecasting plenty of sunshine this week with highest temperatures of 17 degrees.

They said mist and fog will clear from most areas on Monday morning but may linger a while longer along coasts, especially further south.

Dry across most areas with a mix of cloud and hazy sunshine with just isolated light showers.

Sunnier skies will extend from the south later. Mild with top temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees with light to moderate southerly breezes.

Dry on Tuesday but breezy in a rather brisk southeast wind. Hazy sunshine at first will give way to widespread sunshine.

Highest temperatures of 11 to 15 degrees, coolest across southern and eastern counties with best values across west Connacht, owing to a mostly fresh southeast wind.

Met Éireann said high pressure will continue to bring settled conditions and plenty of sunshine.

Wednesday is expected to be a fine day, staying dry with widespread sunshine. Highest temperatures of 11 to 15 degrees, coolest in the east and south due to a light to moderate southeasterly winds.

Thursday will be another dry and sunny day. Highest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees, coolest near the east coast due to a light to moderate easterly wind.

Friday will also stay dry and sunny with highest temperatures of 12 to 17 degrees, mildest in the west in a light to moderate easterly wind.

Met Éireann said current indications suggest it will remain largely settled for the weekend. A little more in the way of cloud is expected with temperatures turning slightly cooler too.
