Tomorrow set to be 'warmest day of the year' according to Carlow Weather man

Temperatures could reach up to 17 degrees in parts of the country

Tomorrow is set to be the "warmest day of the year so far" according to the man from Carlow Weather.

In a post on social media, he revealed that temperatures could reach as high as 17 degrees.

He added that there will be "good sunshine" and a few "fine days to follow."

Met Éireann is forecasting the same, with temperatures as high as 15 degrees expected on Friday.

Carlow Weather warned not to "put away the big coats" just yet though, as a "blast of colder air" is expected next week.

Despite tomorrow being expected to be warm in the day, temperatures will drop to as low as 2 degrees overnight.

There will be sun with clear skies for most of the day, with clouds starting to creep in for about two hours at around 3pm.

There will be two more hours of sunny spells from 5pm until 7pm before the sun sets for the evening.
