Sunny, warm and humid weather this weekend with temperatures as high as 25C to 26C by Sunday
After a rather unsettled week the weather will start to improve from Friday on as high pressure starts to build across Ireland Friday and sitting over the country over the weekend and early Monday.
Both Friday and Saturday will be much fresher days across Ireland due to the direction of the wind. On Friday winds will be west to northwest in direction with fresher weather and feeling a lot less humid and warm.
Temperatures on Friday will range between 17C to 22C, Warmest conditions will be across the southeast and east of Ireland due to that west to northwest sea breeze which will keep temperatures in the high teen across western and north parts of Ireland coolest along coastal regions. Most areas on Friday will see sunny spells but some cloud too with the risk of some showers across the west and northwest.

On Saturday temperatures will again range between 17C to 21C with a northerly breeze keeping temperatures only in the high teens across Ulster and north Connacht but getting into the low 20s elsewhere. Some parts of the north will start of cloudy on Saturday morning but by the late afternoon and evening there should be sunshine nationwide.
This Sunday will be the best day of the week as winds turn to a easterly direction with easterly breezes, it will allow temperatures across the southwest, west, northwest and midlands sore into the mid 20s possibly reaching as high as 26C across some parts of the southwest on Sunday afternoon and evening but generally across the west and northwest temperatures will range between 23C to 25C over the day. Across the northeast, east and south temperatures will be cooler due to the onshore easterly breeze in these areas with temperatures in the high teens to low 20s. The day will see nice summer sunshine nationwide with UV levels high every where and possibly very high across west Ulster, Connacht and west Munster.
