The mini-heatwave Ireland has seen this week is set to continue into the weekend but experts have warned it might not be all it seems.
The country has been bathing in good weather the past few days with high pressure rising and temperatures soaring to the late teens in some places, but it won't be smooth sailing for the whole weekend as rain is set to appear on Thursday evening into Friday morning with widespread cold weather.
Luckily, the good weather is set to return late on Friday and Saturday with highs of 19 degrees in places and will continue throughout the start of next week.
