Goodbye snow, hello sun: Met Eireann claims that Ireland will be hotter than Madrid this weekend after weeks of miserable forecasts.
The weather watchdog is predicting highs of 15°C (59°F) in Ireland this weekend, thanks to warm air from neighbors in Spain.
The news will be sure to put a smile on the faces of Irish people, who usually only see average temperatures of 8°C (46°F) in April.
