Sunny spell to dry up at weekend
After nearly two weeks of dry weather, rain is forecast for the weekend. But the fine weather is here for a few more days at least.
"This particular spell has been exceptionally good," said Met Éireann forecaster Gerry Scully, yesterday. "We've had virtually sunny skies for several days now. These were generally countrywide. At the weekend, 17C was recorded in the south-west and parts of the mid-west. Temperatures everywhere have been in the mid-teens right through this fine spell. And there's been broken sunshine most days." A run of fine weather is unusual but not exceptional at this time of year, according to Mr Scully. However, he said March usually means dreary weather, with temperatures rising no higher than 10-12C.
