As we edge ever closer to colder, wintry weather - it seems this weekend could be the exception. Met Éireann has forecast that temperatures on Saturday could go as high as 19 degrees.

Most of today will be dry with good sunny spells and highest temperatures of between 15 and 18 degrees.

Tonight will see temperatures drop back to between 6 and 8 degrees, but most places will be dry - except for some outbreaks of rain and drizzle later in the night in the southwest.

While tomorrow will see somewhat of a damp and drizzly start, but will become mainly dry with hazy sunshine with the 19 degree high.

And it is likely to be a cloudy day on Sunday, but still dry and bright spells, especially in midland and eastern areas.

Met Éireann says temperatures during the afternoon will "still be moderately high for the time of year" - between 16 and 18 degrees.
