It’s enough to melt the Easter eggs

IT is Easter weekend and thousands are taking the plunge to cool off as temperatures soar.

Swimmers from Howth to Harbour Point are enjoying what’s going to be a sizzler ... well, for a few days anyway.

Temperatures today will hit 21ºC just after the country basked in a scorching 24ºC of heat yesterday. There will be more sunshine tomorrow and Sunday and weather experts are looking on the bright side.
