Temperatures could hit as high as 26 degrees this weekend.

Tomorrow will be cloudy at first with some patchy drizzle but it will dry up in the afternoon with highs of 23 degrees.

Sunday will be warm and dry with temperatures hitting 26 degrees in some parts.

Head of forecasting with Met Eireann Evelyn Cusack says Sunday will be the hottest day of the year:

"It will be a very nice weekend indeed!"

"So the highest temperatures will be over the midlands and the East."

"Also our station at the Phoenix Park, nearby to our lovely President."

She says Sunday could see over 26 degrees in some parts.

Ice Cream Sellers Preparing For Increased Demand

The month of June is gearing up to be mostly dry with average temperatures of 19 or 20 degrees, according to the long-term forecast.

Joe Quinn from Quinn's Bon Bon in Salthill is preparing for a very busy weekend:

"Ah it's fantastic news altogether!"

"The sun is shining here now, after some rain earlier on."

Joe says he hopes the sun continues to shine, to bring the "stay-cationers," out.

"Sunshine means everything to us here in Salthill!"

He says people never want ice cream when it rains.

...and can you blame them?
