Get planning for the weekend because there’s good weather on the way

After a few months of extreme weather, we've been looking forward to summer 2018.

There's finally some good weather news and it looks like we're about to see a major improvement over the coming days. Although today and tomorrow might be dull and grey, Friday is going to see a dramatic change with temperatures expected to reach highs of between 10 and (wait for it) 14 degrees. Western areas can expect the best weather but the whole country should see good weather with some light breezes. The fine spell continues into Saturday with "sunny spells" expected throughout the country although there may be rain that evening, particularly in southwestern areas.

Temperatures should be between 11 and 15 degrees and it might be a little early but we're very tempted to get the BBQ out. Early indications for next week are very good too with "temperatures above normal for the time of year expected". This is due to a strong southerly flow and although conditions might be "changeable", this is the best weather news we've heard in a long time. You can check the forecast out in full here.
