Beach day on Saturday so it is...

The weather is set to see a major 180 this weekend as we could see the return of high temperatures, reaching up to 25C. With heatwave highs set to return as the weekend arrives, Met Éireann has said there will be "unsettled conditions" for the rest of the week before the good weather returns. According to Alan O'Reilly, who runs Carlow Weather, there will be "huge uncertainty" over the coming days. He said on Twitter: "Latest charts show a rollercoaster of temperatures but huge uncertainty for the weekend and next week." Met Éireann has now said that today will see sunny spells and scattered showers develop and become more widespread this afternoon, with some thunderstorms possible.
