Ireland will enjoy sunshine and warm temperatures for the foreseeable future.
The fine weather is to continue over the remainder of St Patrick's weekend and into next week.
Temperatures could reach up to 18 degrees in the Midlands and West, staying cooler on Eastern and Southern coasts.
Meteorologist with Met Éireann, Deirdre Lowe, says aside from a few showers the bright spring weather is here to stay:
"At the moment, the high is centred over Denmark and I believe it's actually a record breaking high. It's about 1050hPa so it'll take quite a while for the high to break down. So the mainly settled weather looks like continuing for the coming week or possibly longer as well. There will be one or two showers in the next couple of days."
