The weather for the weekend will be mostly dry, and while it will be breezier than of late it will still be "relatively mild" for this time of year.

According to Met Éireann, high pressure is continuing to have an influence on our weather in the short term, but by next Tuesday it is going to turn "very unsettled" with spells of wet and windy weather.
