Country set for continued warm weather over Bank Holiday weekend

The warm weather is to continue today in many areas with hazy sunshine expected after clearance of fog this morning, according to Met Éireann.

Thicker cloud is expected, however, over the western half of the country and will produce patchy light rain or drizzle with top temperatures of 16 to 21 degrees expected.

It will remain generally dry tonight with clear spells and a chance of fog spreading further inland overnight.
