Ailis Hankinson, Meteorologist with Met Éireann, has the outlook for the day, noting; “We have a lovely dry and sunny day today, plenty of Spring sunshine, that’s down to an area of high pressure that’s been building just to the north west of us, so yeah we will see max temperatures today of 13 to 17 degrees but possibly reaching 18 degrees locally in some inland areas”.
